The most difficult thing to do.
Something I just can't get through.
Trying to sleep is an absolute pain.
Thoughts constantly swirling in my brain.
It's impossible to not think.
Impossible to let my mind just shrink.
Twisting and turning.
My mind producing thoughts that are concerning.
Sprawled out in bed.
Just stuck in my head.
I can never simply sleep.
Can't even count sheep.
Only thing that works is a pill.
But even then the effect is basically nil.
My body rejects me.
Which is why sleep will just never be.
