when i can’t sleep

I can't sleep.
There's so much I want to do,
So much I want to say.
But I can't write them down in one go.
My eyes dont want to close.
I lay awake for an hour,
Wondering about the universe,
About what I'll do tomorrow.
I think about a new song I might write,
Only, the lyrics seem to be forced.
I'll just turn on the lamp and get my pen.
Green and gold is with which I write this.
I'll write about crimson robes and knights of chivalry,
Or maybe some tragic ends for some lovers in a story.
Perhaps I'll think of a poem
With words so sweet that even I wil cry.
Or maybe a haiku, only I don't know how.
How about a play, like Shakespeare?
But I don't know how to do those things too.
Up 'till now I still can't sleep,
I can hear my sister's soft breathing
And the sound of the clock ticking.
Twelve midnight and I'm still awake-
Why is this sleeplessness taking over me?
Maybe it's just the sweet chocolate bar I had.
But, my eyelids slowly begin to droop-
This is it! Finally, my busy mind wants to sleep.
I lie down on my pillow, and my mind suddenly goes blank.
I could sleep after all.
