Sonnet I
Sometimes I can get lost inside my head.
It draws me in when I’m awake at night.
I should be getting sleep right then instead,
But my mind’s eye is still burning too bright
To let the darkness close my heavy lids.
Gears whir madly: How to react to this?
Solutions escape me. My mind forbids
Me from detecting what could be amiss.
But then at last I come upon the key
And once again can let myself relax
For I will have worked out what bothered me.
And the vibrant colors recede to blacks.
The beast within my skull will never rest.
Together we continue on our quest.
