And Now It's 3:50 AM

And now it's 3:50 AM
iCan'tSleep
Listening to the big hand
Of my wall clock
Tick.
Tock.
Tick.
Tock.
Tick.
Tock.
And now it's 3:51 AM
Still
Can'tSleep
Feel my head throb and pound
From the headache
Throb.
Pound.
Throb.
Pound.
And now it's 3:52 AM
Why
Can'tISleep?
Because of my anxiety
Because of my depression
Worry.
Worry.
Die.
Die.
Worry.
Worry.
Die.
Die.
And now it's 3:53 AM
I'm still not drowsy
WithSleep
Count the tiles on my ceiling
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10
11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19
21. No. 20.
I 'veLostMyCount.
And now it's 3:54 AM
Will I ever
BeAbleToSleep?
no never no.
Tick
Tock
Throb
Pound
Worry
Die
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10
And it's time for me to
Try and get some
Sleep.
