the four right chords can make me cry

its been so long since i've had trouble falling asleep. just can't switch off my mind. it started off innocently enough, but my thoughts just kept going on and on after that, i never felt so awake. so much to say! so many things i suddenly have insight on! unfortunately i'm going to forget them by tomorrow, i know.
part of me wanted to suppress them so that i could sleep, i have church in the morning. but part of me was taken aback by the honesty i suddenly had, the clarity. the lies you tell yourself are all too subtle.
so i gave up trying to sleep. the cresent moon is still hung in the sky. i am waiting for the stillness of the new day to break over me like an egg in a frying pan. i love the drama of every new dawn.
