Can't Sleep...

I am having trouble going to sleep.

I can't seem to turn off my brain nor keep my eyes from opening.

I laid awake wishing I was asleep and hoping I would just pass out quickly.

But here I am - awake - typing away with not a whole heck of a lot to say.

It's rather pathetic actually and now I'm wondering why I'm even allowing my fingers to dance about the keys as if they already had at least a few good hours of deep, uninterrupted sleep.

Again, my finger tips are dancing, my mind is trying to say some thing remotely intelligent and my eyes are watering because that's how they let me know that I am truly exhausted.

To no avail, the tips are typing, the mind forming words, and the eyes blurred to no end.

Help! How do I turn my brain off? Oh, wait, I think I've morphed into a vampire or a bat or a freaking weirdo, with nothing to say, but awake like the light of day!

Good god, man! Get it together and say good bye already!!!

We can't say the fingertips, I won't says the brain, and we're flowing a river by now say the eyes.

What?! Says the 'little' voice inside. The same little voice that told me to get up because I could not sleep. The same little voice that said if I got up and did a few things, then I would be ready to sleep, the same little voice that is making me wish I had never let the little voice out of wherever it comes from, because otherwise I'd be at least lightly slumbering if nothing else, instead I'm typing like a mad woman who has not said a thing in the time it has taken to type all of this crapola, voila!
