1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Counting my sheep
Can't seem to sleep
As watery eyes flicker
Staring at the clock
Time ticks by
If I fall asleep instantly
I'll get 4 hours
Of peaceful sleep

5 - 6 - 7 - 8
Fucking sheep
Still no rest
Running circles in my mind
Replaying the day
Choices made
To be undone
Hurtful memories
To shove away
Nothing good
Likes to stay
Dwelling on the bad
As we are told not to do

9 - 10 - 11 - 12
What is so special about sheep?
Why do I need sleep?
Showing no signs
Of being tired now
Restlessness makes me toss
And turn
A thousand times
Can't seem to get comfy
No matter where I am

13 - 14 - 15 - 16
Ah fuck it
Getting a snack
Milk and yogurt
Still not helping
As my eyes
Flicker open again
Stare at the ceiling
Contemplating numbers

17 - 17 - 20 -
