Wide Awake

Wide Awake

Wide Awake
Painfully, regretfully, miserably awake
But I can't fall asleep
There is just too much to do
And so much to figure out
And so much to regret
I guess during the day
Our mind blocks out all the things
We don't want to think about
But at night
In the stillness
And the silence
And the quietness of it all
Everything changes
Imaginations rush
Thoughts wander
And in the silence
Everything is so loud
So I lay
Painfully, regretfully, miserably awake
Staring up at the ceiling
And praying for silence once more
