Sleep...

Why can't I sleep?

I feel like I have relatively busy days,

full of school, and work, and chores, and sports.

I feel like I should be tired.

Sometimes I just want to dream.

Fall asleep so I can dream some crazy dream.

The kind I wake up hoping is real.

The kind I wish I could fall back asleep to finish.

I have dreams.

I day dreams like crazy.

Why can't I sleep?

I dream in the day.

When I look at people I look up to.

When I see someone I aspire to be like.

My mind goes 100 miles an hour.

I feel exhausted dreaming of ways to accomplish what I want.

Why can't I sleep?

My dreams at night might be crazier than when I'm awake.

But in the end...

When I wake up...

I know I can't do anything about my sleep dreams.

No matter how real they feel or how real I want them.

I can only make my day dreams become real.

Become mine.

 

I guess I don't mind that I can't sleep.
