Sometimes - I have to much on my mind to sleep
Thoughts running wild and I can't contain them
Sometimes - I have to much on my mind to think
A juxtaposition at it's finest, but never has it been so true
Sometimes - my mind races 100 miles per minute
Racing against itself for a reason unbeknownst to me
Sometimes - my body just wants to sleep, yearning for rest after a long day
I beg my mind to stop, quiet down, relax
Sometimes - I form complete and incomplete thoughts at the same time
Skipping from one to the next, and then occasionally going back
Sometimes - I wonder what my dog is doing right now
Does he miss me like I miss him
Sometimes - I think about the future and what will it look like
What if my dreams dry like raisins in the sun
Sometimes - I try counting slowly, focusing on my breath
Praying that the night would just come to an end
Sometimes - I think I have insomnia
But that could just be my thoughts talking again
People wonder why I'm up so late - what I am I doing at 3 am
Sometimes - I wonder that too
Sometimes - I wish it were that easy
