I went to bed earlier last night
Doesn't make a difference
No time like the present?
Have you watching the midnight hours tick by?
Silence is all I want
First from my mind, then outside
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep
...This isn't working
Melatonin kicks in; time for bed
Wide awake
Not again
Just...Just don't
It's not as simple as closing my eyes
The mind never sleeps
Awaken from this dream
Oh, I've not fallen asleep yet
Doesn't make a difference
No time like the present?
Have you watching the midnight hours tick by?
Silence is all I want
First from my mind, then outside
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep
...This isn't working
Melatonin kicks in; time for bed
Wide awake
Not again
Just...Just don't
It's not as simple as closing my eyes
The mind never sleeps
Awaken from this dream
Oh, I've not fallen asleep yet
I wrote this a while back when it was 7 a.m. and I was still wide awake, and it's been sitting in a note in my phone for a month or so. I don't really like it, but I feel the need to submit something new!

I really like this, in part because I can relate to it. 
You've captured what it's like to not be able to sleep, for whatever reason, and the frustration that comes with it. 
I love the imagery, especially the lines about the sheep... I don't know how many times I've tried the counting trick. 
Well done!
