I Can Not Sleep

I Can Not Sleep

The worries are running my mind.
Why are there so many,
ruining my rest,
causing me pain?
They leap monstrous
from my mind
and grow Omnipresent
as I try to shut them out
one by one by one
Slam the door.
Turn out the light.
They slide back from dungeon darkness
of my imagination
and wake me again as I doze.
