tick tock
Tick Tock says the clock
I watch the seconds passing by.
I lay my head on the pillow,
Hoping my eyes will close tonight.
Then I begin to wonder,
Just who I really am.
My mind begins to wander,
Thoughts racing in my head.
I wish the thoughts would cease.
I want to sleep instead.
Let them begin in the morning,
Tonight I want to rest.
I try to shut off the thoughts,
Bringing different thoughts instead.
No matter how hard I try,
The thoughts still creep around.
So I lay with thoughts running around,
Waiting for exhaustion to bring it to an end.
