Laying in bed
Thinking of too many things
Bunch of thoughts in my head
Of what the days may bring
Need to do this
Forgot to do that
Find a moment of bliss
Like a rabbit in a hat
Take a moment to sit
And puzzle out thoughts
Am I a good fit?
Or is it all for not?
Then your future self might see you with hate
As you had to get up early
And you stayed up late
Thinking of stories
Thinking of work
Thinking of what to write
And what doesn’t hurt
The days are long
Hot and sticky
But you push on
Your dreams are quite picky
And when the day ends
You’re too tired to sleep
Something comes around the bend
A promise you must keep
You tire it out
Get something that’ll do
Hope no one will shout
That it’s a fraud to
Take a deep breath
You’re doing your best
The promise was kept
So, now to get some rest
Don’t wait any longer
Your future self will feel it
Each moment makes you stronger
So, go on and believe it
