140 Characters



She crawls into bed, shutting her eyes
Praying the thoughts go away
They do not
She whispers
Why are you still here?
All I want is to dream

    Been in that moment before...you just want to pull your hair out when your brain just WON'T shut down! Great job of describing this frustration.
