It's three in the morning. It's that late already?

I shut my eyes. Why does my mind keep racing?

There is no light. How come I'm awake?

My bed is so comfortable. Why am I so restless?

The air is very cool. I still lay awake.

Reposition to my left side. Let's try my right.

Roll over on my right side. Still not working.

My pillow is soft. I'm starting to get a headache.

As I lay restless, I take the opportunity to rewind my mind.

So many thoughts going through my head, yet I feel cool, calm, and collected.

So many great ideas going through my head, I want to put them on paper.

So many happy memories as a child, wish I could relive them.

So many obstacles I have overcome, I can't believe I made it this far.

Time flies by as I lay in my bed and morning light begins to show.

As soon as I realize this, it's already five forty-five in the morning.

Damn, I am tired...
