Awake Too Early

Carl Setzer2 Comments

​My relentless mind 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>In perpetual motion 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Sleeping’s a challenge 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Awake against my will

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Dreaming of dreaming 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Longing for slumber 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>The machinery of my mind 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Psychological cogs churn and spin 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Whirring hum of my soul
