Restless

Restless

Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Lay on my side.
No back.
Stomach?
My mind is racing...
Check the clock.
It blinks 12:00.
Great another thing that's broken.
Ok, ok.
Let's try side again.
Good,
Now close my eyes.
Let's count:
1, 2, 3...
And they burst open.
Excellent,
You appeared in my sleepless dream.
Now we're back to stomach.
4, 5, 6...
Wait, did I have a paper due tomorrow?
No, no.
Maybe if I face the other way.
7, 8, 9...
What was that noise?
Now I'll never sleep,
There's obviously a rapist outside my house.
10, 11, 12...
Yep, not going to work.
I'll just settle for the pills.
