Thoughts so loud on another sleepless night

The lights are out. The house is quiet.

The thoughts rant on

I toss and turn to no avail

Comfortable I am not

Tears stream down my face

I beg the thoughts to shut up

I toss another turn

Throw the covers off my body...it's hot in here

I shoot out of bed and pace back and fourth

Grab my ipod off my desk

Blare the music loud, attempting to chase the thoughts out of my head and willing sleep to come

I lean my head against the cool feel of the door for a moment

I slam it hard against it, feeling the pain shoot though my skull

Begging anyone that will hear me to let me fall asleep.

To my bed I crawl once more

Restlessly laying upon it

I pull the covers up to my body...it's cold in here

I shut my eyes and open them

Tired I am not

Staring at the ceiling frozen

Sleep tonight?

I guess not!
