I lie awake at night
Plagued with insomnia
What do I do
To keep it at bay?
I play mobile games
They don't really help much
No matter how hard I try
But they distract me
From the thoughts in my head
"You're not good enough," they say
"You'll never get anywhere in life," some reply
Sometimes I lie in bed
Simply thinking
The thoughts try to interrupt
But I keep them busy
I ask them questions
About my day
How I could've done something
To better this world I'm in
Or why do those thoughts
Think I'm not good enough?
Eventually
My brain exhausts
And I finally retire
To sleep
Until the process resets
The next night
