Every night i head to bed

And all these thoughts just swarm into my head

What am I doing tomorrow

What happened today

When will I get that cat I’ve always wanted

How will my current choices pave my way

How are my friends doing

I miss them too much

And what about my family

I really should keep in touch

How are some people so damn lucky

Why do i have so many negative thoughts

What constitues a ‘good’ person

Maybe humanity just has that many faults

What’s gonna happen in the future

How long will the earth last

This is getting kinda depressing

Maybe I should take some time to reminiscise about the past

Am i honestly happy right now

I don’t actually know

I think I really am

But sometimes it’s a little hard to show

Why’s everything so complicated

I guess it’s cos of our brains

If i spend my thinking time sleeping

The rest would reduce the morning head pains

Believe me though, these thoughts are genuine

I’m not trying to keep up a pretense

Now I really should put my phone down 

Gotta stop all this nonsense

Goodnight.
