30: Sleep Aids


Sleep Aids

Eyes tired but they can’t find sleep

Brain needs to rest but also to feast

Heart almost quit on this beast

Mouth is closed and won’t make a peep

I gave in and took the klonopin,

It led me to my writing pen

Better that than giving in

What’ll it take to get me a win?

My soul feels empty most times

Others it’s a soul on high

I will spread my arms, pretend to fly

Maybe one day, perhaps another lifetime.
