the clock keeps ticking
as my mind struggles to keep up
too many ticks.
too many tocks.
the clock's too loud
it echos through the silent night
too many thoughts
all at once
i need them on paper
scribble

that fucking clock
it never fucking stops
i cant fucking sleep.
a dog barks

a car screeches

a horse neighs...what?

i can't be hallucinating

don't sleep.
won't sleep.
shan't sleep.

I've been there. Its hard to go to sleep when all you can think about is trying to sleep.

I usually get up and drink some warm milk with vanilla. That or a mickey of rum :-)

If I didn't have a fear of the rum coming back up, I would probably drink it... Would be nice to have something to knock me out completely..

Take Care..
