Awake and Caffeinated

It’s two in the morning and I can’t sleep

Too much coffee, much too late

Too many mugs keeping me awake

Three in the morning, I toss and turn

I close my eyes and count back from ten

Over and Over and Over again,

It’s four in the morning and I still can’t sleep

I lay in bed wide awake

Four O’ Clock and not yet one dream

Hours and Hours,

Collecting Minutes and Minutes,

The Seconds add up and the time grows late

Five in the morning, still not there

Tired in the eyes, tired all around

But then, just then I think I hear some sounds

Five Thirty and now I’m up

Walking the floors, with a light and a bat,

But soon I found the noise was only my cat,

It’s six in the Morning and I’m sound asleep,

Then comes the ringing from the clock,

Onto the kitchen to put on another pot

Awake and caffeinated

There’s no one to blame

Insomnia through my own creation
