Restless

Tossing and turning. 

Sighing and trying.

Staying up all night,

Wondering if you were right.

Ideas churning,

Serenity burning.

Everything is coming to the surface.

Through your mind the problems race.

Unable to kill time.

Try to put it out of your mind.

Remembering it all,

Into sleep you cannot fall.

There is no relief .

The covers you go underneath.

All of your tears.

Your paralyzing fears.

You flip over your pillow again. 

Sweating and worrying then.

You sit up in bed.

What's wrong with your head?

Staring at the darkness,

You realize that you're restless.
