Restless

I lie in bed restless

Trying to fall asleep.

I don't move a muscle.

I don't make a peep.

My eyes are wide open

Blankets smothering my face.

Staring deep into my ceiling

My mind an empty space.

I would like to go to bed

To make time go by.

I can wake up in the morning

And give that day a try.

I want go to sleep,

But really I can not

For I have awful memories

I wish I forgot.

Demons let me sleep

I need to rest my head.

Stop all of this thinking,

And let me go to bed.
