Not being able to sleep when your body is tired but your mind doesn't allow you to.
Why can't I sleep

Why can't I sleep
When my bed is all I need
But I find myself awake
Every hour of the day
My mind takes me places
That I tried to hide in different spaces
But when I'm awake
Its like I can't make them go away

The dark circles
Are enough to show you
The pain I'm trying to explain
Because when I'm awake for 24 hours of the day
My body gets drained
But my mind tells it to stay awake
I tried to make it stop
But it can't get enough

So I'll sit here drinking my coffee
The only thing that makes me feel comfy
Because my head doesn't know peace
Which makes the feeling far out of reach
But maybe if I count sheep
I can find the feeling in my sleep
