Thoughts

It keeps me up all night
Restricting me from dreams
Even for a nightmare
I could now wish

Whatever could get me out
Of this state of being awake
Forced to look around,
And think...

My head hurts as my mind races
And thoughts play hide and seek
Through my tired, wasted brains

I don't want to see the world
But closing my eyes hurts
As looking directly in the sun

Oh! If I could shut myself down
Even if it was for merely a second
My mind could go truly blank
