Rest on a manic morning.

Why wont my mind just shut up and let me get some rest.

Deep down I know it would be the best.

I try to lay there and sleep.

My body just can't stand the heat.

I get up and I lay down.

My mind just going round and round.

Thinking about things that just don't matter

Thinking about them just make's me sadder.

OH just shut up brain and let me go.

The truth to it I'll never know.

My heart beating out of my chest.

How do I get my self in this mess?

Should I clean house?

Should I wash some clothes.

I could water the yard with the water hose.

It's four in the morning and my mind just wont rest.

I just need some sleep, that would be  best.

I have had so so many nights/mornings like this when I feel I am going mad............the mind will not be still, but like a merry go round goes round and round..........you capture that feeling so well in your writing.

I hate it when my mind just won't stop so I can relax and sleep. Awesome write on that cruel situation!

Some of the rhyming seems a little forced, but if it was at 4am when you wrote this....it's forgiven lol. Good flow. Good read.

I can relate to this 100%. I have many sleepless nights just like you describe. I just wish I had an off button to turn my mind off but how would I turn it back on when I wanted too? This is outstanding, I think.

good luck getting back to sleep when your mind is wound so tight. I have that problem two nights a week at least. I know this feeling all too well. This poem expressing how we lay down and think about everything that bothers us at night. Some new some old.

Very good. I have nights and mornings like this often.

Well, your poem reminds me of one of my poem.. "Insomnia and the morning walk". Insomnia is really tricky disease and drains the body a lot. Well, i like your poem, some of our words collide! :)
