I think my thoughts because im me

this came to my head when i was thinking at night. hahaha ironic eh?

Tumble little sleeping pills, tumble down my throat
I drink a little water for i fear that i might choke
i know these pills wont help me sleep but what am i to do
i know i cant stop my mind from thinking so i will share a few with you
so here is the stuff i think about when a sound the world is making not
 i think of words unspoken
i think of stuff undone
i think i think i think of songs
i think of what I have done
i think in till i cant think a thought
my oh my these thoughts wont stop
My mind is like a moving train
and off the railroad tracks we go
i think of why i think so much
and of getting old and creaky bones
i think of stories i want to live in and become a valiant knight
i think of numbers
i think of sheep
i think of little ants lives
i think of what it would be like to go back in time
i think of how much i love my mom
and i cherish that shes her
i think and think and cannot stop in tell the wee hours of the night
i stopped taking sleeping pills because finally i could see
that thinking is not a curse
but a gift that was given to me

Author's Note

yes i think and think in tell i fall asleep or sometimes i do not sleep. but i don't hate it anymore. does anybody else think a billion miles per hour at night? **and the daytime to**?

Thinking is an exercise we all need to engage in for a mentally fit brain but bravo for stopping those sleeping pills....

YES. I think you're my long lost twin. lol

It depends on the mood i'm in.
Sometimes i go for months,
sleeping as soundly as a babe,
but every now and again -
and it can last for weeks on end -
I lie awake in the dead of night,
Inspiration burning through my mind,
Tearing it up,
Shredding me up,
Until I am not what you know,
I am not what i show.
It makes me who iam.

Intellect is a gift that we may appreciate the One who gave us this--intelligently.

Yeah I'm always thinking or day dreaming...which is good and bad - only bad because then I start to worry over things...
Anyway- great poem - the flow of it was really good
many would definetely relate

This is pretty good!

[qaralynn]

nice write...sometimes I really wish the thinking would just stop XD

[Jaidyn DeVoir]

This was really good. I don't think as much as you do, it might be just me. If I think too much I just get myself really down. Great work

I can relate to this in many ways, although unlike you I fail to see any kind of a blessing in my sleepless nights, they are always filled with heinous thoughts and emotions. Maybe you would like to read my perspective in my piece 'Insomnia', I think you may be able to relate to at least elements of it! Thanks for sharing this wonderful peice.
