Shit

I can’t sleep

Late at night and I’m awake in bed

Every night I count stupid little sheep

Now I can’t get thee sound “bah” or “meh”, out of my head

Cant believe it is past three, I am up cause I have to pee

Eventually my mind and bladder calms. The sheep are now quiet and I start feel at ease. I start to fall asleep, then my alarm goes off. Shit.
