Time for bed

It's time to switch off the light.
To close the tired eyes, and let go.
Stop the thoughts from flowing,
allow the dreams to take over.
Hide from the world,
if only for a few hours.
Switch off the light.
This is what's been longed for all day.
Nightfall. Sleep. Escape.
Close your eyes, it's easier said than done.
Thoughts rushing through your head.
Want to sleep.
Don't want tomorrow to come.
Fighting the inner demons,
in an attempt to win.
Will fall asleep.
But too late.
Will wake up.
Too tired.

And so a new day begins.
And the cycle continues.
