I've tried several times to go to sleep and yet my mind is busy.

Tick | Tick | Tick | Tick

It's a constant cycle of one song on a frenzied repeat.
It's a list of work things that still need to be done.
It's anticipation to start the next fun project
And the not-so-fun home improvement project.
It's the waiting for more equipment to arrive.

Is this excitement? Suspense? A-N-X-I-E-T-Y?

Ah... to close my eyes and embrace the dark silence!

My brain feels like it's doing jumping jacks
...just bouncing from one thing to the next
But my eyes are being bad neighbors;
They're itchy and tired
