Sleepless

There I lie on a bed made for rest 


But my brain is restless 


It’s already 3 am, I guess it’s alright 


As long as I get to sleep by 4 


Well it’s 4 am, I got nothing, I’m awake, too awake actually

 

Let's try some meditation. I turned off my phone.


Breathe 1,2,3,4,5 OUT.  1,2,3,4,5 feel your surroundings

 

It’s too dark and too quiet for a overthinker like myself, this won’t work 


It’s already 6 am, got school in a bit imma just try to sleep on my own while watching a video

 

My eyes are closing, it’s working I feel it goodnight . . . wait what is this


I'm too aware of my surroundings for me to be sleeping. Is what I'm seeing


Hallucinations or am I dreaming right now? I'm seeing weird things imma wake up.


I heard writing  helps you clear your mind and that's what I'm going to do.


Maybe i'll write some weird  poem

An experience I've been through before in my life. A day I used poetry to clear my mind in order to sleep.
