Sleepless 
 
 
Lidless wonders at the ceiling 
Stargazing off into space 
Awake yet numb from lack of slumber 
Legs wanting to run a race 
 
How long can this human body 
campaign to stay awake?  
When my mind is but a muddle 
and it is sleep I wish to partake 
 
Yet each night the same scenario 
Keeps playing it's refrain 
As I lie there restless....sleepless 
and all my worries are to blame
