Something stops me from my sleep

Every night when throats sleeps tired–

From days talk

Feet's carry's to bed to relax from holding

The back so long, like an old wooden desk with

Graffiti written all over, trying to support everything

On its head as it stands on one leg the other one–

Broken...

The human body is like a car engine it needs a break

To so it won't burned out.

Lights out, baby weeps in a crib a mother rocks

She says "shhhh, don't cry my baby it's alright mama is here", and

Sings twinkle twinkle little stars while the infant

Closest eyes dreams for babies, the mother dark

Circle around her eyes she the one who's ready to

Knock out like a light.

Down stairs my step dad drags himself to bed for

Another day of work having watching to much

Action movies eating and drinking beer.

While me–

I twist and turn, fluffs pillows, throws bonnet away

Somewhere in the dark it gets lost on the floor

It's hot, I'm hot, wishing I could just jump in a

Frozen pool an ocean of water

Freezing cold water, this isn't new to me fidgeting trying

My best to fall asleep, I count sheep's hoping I'll

Fall deep.
