Restless [Nove Otto]

by Andrew Morton   Jul 9, 2007


Laying here awake, thinking it through
i must have nothing better to do
can't rid myself of this bitter pain
tossing and turning through the night
falling asleep is out of sight
i am losing at my own game
i stare at the ceiling again
focusing on just what i am
and every night is always the same

    I love this write. Short, but to the point. And definately something I can relate to. I might have to try this style of writing sometime...
    Keep writing.
