a poem
My mind is humming like a song on repeat, A song that keeps yelling 'would you just go to sleep', But when I'm exhausted and tired, My brain won't press pause, The reason I don't need it, is also the cause. There's this song in my head and I don't know how to sing it, I can't play it or write it, and I certainly can't beat it. It likes to come up in the worst of worst times, When I need to sleep and rest and close my eyes. The song in my head is singing so loud, I toss and I turn, But I can't get it out. It's love and lust and hurt and joy, It's like life on repeat, Playing me like a toy.
