Can'T Fall Asleep Poem by Rebeckah Schroeder

My thoughts keep me up at night,
my tears put me to sleep,
my dreams wake me up,
after only an hour of sleep.

I can't rest no more,
I can't fall back to sleep,
so I lie in bed for hours at a time,
watching the clock as the time keeps going by.

I toss and I turn,
trying to find something comforable,
but when I'm almost asleep,
my thoughts wake me up again.

So I lay there thinking the thoughts,
that wont leave me alone.
I try time and time again,
but I cant fall back to sleep.

Finally I fall asleep,
but then i quickly hear a noise,
it is my alarm telling me to get up for the day ahead,
but it doesnt realize that I've been up all night.
Thinking, thinking of those thoughts that won't let me sleep.

So I quickly turn off the annoying buzzing noise,
and there I lay in my bed,
dreading the day ahead.
