Up all night, mind racing.
2:04 am no sleep at all.
Am I wasting time,
Or am I simply inspired.
No way to tell but
I'll take it as a sign.
Tired but wide awake,
Melatonin doesn't do s***.
Wishing for more
than just a few words.
Its been too long since the last time
I felt this muse.
Music drowns out thoughts,
But they bleed through anyway.
Should I sleep,
Or keep writing?

I love the line "Music drowns out thoughts, / But they bleed through anyway." Great poem!
