Insomnia is nothing to lose sleep over

Thoughts keep racing---------racing through my mind
They say it's anxiety, too much caffeine, sleeping in
Kory snores and rolls over, takes all the sheets
The party below me continues on
The parking lot lights shine through the blinds
And the midnight train sings a loud lullaby
Mitch changes positions in his kennel
Kory mumbles something in his slumber and throws his arm on top of me
what a cuddler...
The wall clock suddenly seems to be giving off noisy ticks I never noticed before
The heater beside me kicks on and blows hot air in my already 85 degree room
Drunken laughter and banter in the hot tub echos across the complex
Cars fly over the speed bump located outside my front door
My phone vibrates on the dresser
Turn on the TV, watch some informercials. 'P90X' 'Extenze' 'My Baby Can Read'
I eventually find my way back to bed and start to sleep lightly
five hours later Kory is shaking the bed saying:
"Wake up!", "Geeze, all you ever do is sleep", and "You are going to sleep away the day".
