Almost There

Lying here upon your bed.
Your body's feeling tired
But there your mind is saying
That it's feeling wired

You realize that you had some thoughts
And you notice that now you're thinking
As your conscious fades away
And the subconscious is now drinking

You, you're just lying there
And you really didn't schedule this
But now you're thinking about all these things
And your soul is just incredulous

Because it was 5 minutes ago
When you thought you'd now be sleeping
But that's not the thought you're stuck on
And it's other things you're thinking

All the worries and the cares
Those people you haven't heard from
All the love you'd like to share
And the ways you'll reclaim your freedom

All those things about the world
That never make you happy
That poem you read 3 days ago
And how it made you just feel sappy

The things you want to do tomorrow
And all the things you can't control
The things that make you anxious
And a few things that you were told

Spiraling back to yesteryear
When you were but a child
The sympathy for that mom you know
that struggles for her child

And all of the sudden there you are
Lying there so wide awake
And now your body needs to wait
Until your mind goes for its break.
