When the mind is Restless!!

When one is restless, the mind works in many ways as for me it works best in writing.

 My mind is restless,

 All these nights been sleepless.

 Sometimes I feel hopeless,

 Too much thinking, breathless.

 The sun shines outside,

 But inside, in my world I hide.

 Only thoughts within can confide,

 Roaming here and there like waves in an ocean so wide.

 ''Should I sleep, watch something to broaden my knowledge or just think?'',

 If I were to be left with a notebook and a pen I'd run out of ink. 

 I'd write down everything that enters my conscience, let it all in, let it sink,

 I'd write until the sun goes down until my eyes can no longer blink.

 I feel the sun's sunlight shine upon my window,

 Only to look to my left and see a shadow.

 A shadow of someone who's still awake when everyone's asleep,

To each, their own as my moments and thoughts I get to keep.

I love the naked expression in your poem.
So many poems are carefully dressed in 'acceptable' gowns and suits. It is refreshing to read words that stand alone and do not hide behind false adornments. I hope you will always retain your style of free and naked inspiration, dear poet.
