SLEEP

Description of how to go to sleep

GOOD NIGHT ALL

 

I am so sleepy

So very, very tired

I`m so sleepy and tired

But I have to think

 

Let me think

I have to keep this in mind

My old love what is she doing

Wish I could sleep

 

But, I have to think ---t hink

What was I thinking ?

How much money do I need

That`s it money !  Nobody can

Sleep and think of money .

 

I`ll just lay and think about it

Greenbacks and silver dollars

And , whatever happened

To the twenty I loaned to Jake ?

 

Now I know I wrote it off

How about those others

All a mistake, write `em off

Now I gotta stay awake

 

Think about love

Love always pusts me to sleep

And I gotta stay awake

Sleep is bad

 

Sleeep wastes time

Sleeeeep no goood

Go `way sleeeeeeep

Gotta think

 

Think`n `bout sleeeeeeeeep

How it ffeeeeels

Oh, oh what was itttt?

Sleeeep`n   slee----------

Adorable! The writer captures, perfectly, the different wanderings his mind goes through as sleep decends him. And it was a wander, fragments of this and pieces of that. The past, the future, security. Friendships.
I wonder what of it he kept and took into his dream world with him.
A good honest impression of a moment in time.

Indeed so! Who hasn't been greeted by an army of thoughts and remembrances as they are trying to get a good nights sleep? Some nights, it can be inspirational and lead to good ideas or creations, but others it can create a whirlstorm of depression and sadness. It seems to me this writer touched lightly upon both topics, be it may financial, romantic, or just plan random. It reminds me very much of myself when I drift into slumber. Relate able, and very much enjoyed.

I could actually picture someone doing that. Love the poem

I like this a lot...

I feel your frantic rushing thoughts.. So many different thoughts coming to mind so fast it barely seems to register yet, it does.

Somewhere along the way your mind zips into sleep and when did this happen..? Who knows but thank goodness it FINALLY did ..

:) good piece man!

Made me sleepy. Look at that! I'm yawning. Not because of you, heavens no you're not boring; just make me sleepy. "Nobody can Sleep and think of money." Very true indeed. Very real. Very lovely.

I thought this was wondeful!! I have felt this so many times, yet never could put it into words. You have done that wonderfully. I very much enjoyed reading this.

This is how my mind works for sure. Not ready to shut down inspite the fact that my body is. It's an inner battle every night

perfect depiction of what i'm like when my mind just will NOT shut off!

and the ending gives a smile as well.

your writing reminds me of an old myspace friend i've not seen in ages, with your hidden self effacing smile inside your work
