I don't ask to do this

I don't like doing this
Staying up all night
Trying to just sleep
Trying to at least get silence
Silence from my thoughts
That's why I draw but it never helps
Drawing just makes it easier to focus
But after an hour my brain starts thinking rapidly again
Like a machine on a timer
Drawing makes is stop and starts said timer
And when the timer stops the machine starts ticking again
tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
That's probably why I enjoy drawing at night
To at least help
Maybe even give me hope that I'll get more sleep
But I know that it won't help
And I won't get more sleep
Because now I like drawing
And it isn't me just trying to get more sleep
