It's 4am,

My eyes should be closed, my mind should be resting and my thoughts should be dreams,

Instead my eyes lie wide open, my mind wanders and my thoughts scribble these words.

Music is my escape, music is my therapy,

But the battery in my earphones dies to bring me back to reality.

I go from remembering lyrics to recollecting parts of my day,

Some happy, some absolutely cheerful and a few sad and worrisome.

This overthinking, this late night writing, this confusion can keep me up all night,

So I try to exhaust myself to the best of my abilities, burnout so that my eyes at least shut down from the exertion,

But I always end up here... Scribbling on a notepad, covered in a blanket and my mind... Still wandering...
