Counting Sheep

Rating: 5.0


Can’t sleep, won’t sleep scared of what I’ll find when I close my eyes. I’m starting to think I’m not supposed to have someone for me, is that the moral to the story? That’s what I’m finding. I try counting sheep but can’t you see it’s no use?
So fool me, trick me, love me, just to leave me. Don’t try to convince me; don’t bother in trying to sweet talking me. This time the jokes on me, you can prank call someone else for now. Hey you, yeah you, carry on. You managed to make me feel small so congrats. Job well done, guess your mission was accomplished.
Can’ t sleep, won’t sleep don’t want to close my eyes, cuz I know the truth, I’m just some girl, don’t go fooling me into thinking I’m more. Carry on, keep on going. Have a good life, how can one continue to be friends with someone with a “personality” like mine? Now that I know your secret, I don’t know if I can ever be the same. I feel like I went to sleep daydreaming and woke up to find my words nothing but blurred ink on a page. Discovering that ordinary and boring, could be words used to describe, right now.
Fool me, trick me, oh you already did, check mate. You win. Game over, I quit. Sleep, dream, fall, do I dare? No I don’t. Resist, resist the urge. Stupid girl to wake up and think things would be, could be, should be different. Oh but baby you’ll learn in time, this is just one of the first few steps, one of the many low blows to come. But don’t go losing sleep over this, there’s many nights where tossing and turning will come in handy but now is not one of those times.
Close those sweet eyes, try to forget those lies. Brush off, the rejection and the fact that right now, your just another girl….nothing special. Losing sleep, when I should have been counting sheep, only counting sheep only goes so far, after all you only tried to be who you are…..yet that seemed to get you in this mess didn’t it?
