Unable to sleep by Miranda

The whirring in my head

It begins when I lie in my bed

No sleep it decides

A list of tasks it provides

Why suddenly they have arrived

Is a mystery to fathom

Those tasks lay forgotten

For months and years and were rested.

Unlike myself now thoroughly tested

So awake am I

Call it insomnia

Call it anything

It's a nuisance it's a pest

I really need to rest

The appointment tomorrow I must attend

But my mind it wont amend

I cannot sleep

So the consequences I shall reap

The later it is on the clock

The more my mind worries and shall mock

Yes its typical now very drowsy I become

But its much too late

The alarm rings

And time to rise arrives

Shower and dress I must

The new day will be endured

That list of urgent things disappeared once more.

To pop up again and torture

My procrastination is my enemy
