Trapped between awake and asleep
Always conscious but thoroughly unaware
I lay here and stare into the darkness of the night
Hoping for tranquility and wishing to slip into repose
Body tired and worn out from the demands of my day
A mind that will not stop scrutinizing that day
I want to leave this day behind
To slip deep into an unconscious sleep of forgetfulness
No more anxious thoughts or plaguing details
I yearn for a comforting rest from this world
A break from my conscious mind
To no longer be taunted by it
Silence within
Eyes closed I wait and pray for this feeling to come
But alas, more of the same
Rapid fire of incoherent thoughts
When will I rest?!
