thoughts of an insomniac

I stand up and look around
I wonder how much can be found
When I look into my mind
I wonder how much will I find
Before I lay down to sleep
How much must I keep
Why can't I just let it go

As the wheels keep on spinning
Darkness grows I'm not winning
The battle grows frustration creeps
How come everyone else sleeps
Why can't I just let it go

When I think about what I could have done
A little different your heart I could've won
But once again here I lay
Thinking about what I did today
The mistakes I made plenty of
Where's the help from above
Why can't I just let it go

About this poem:
Shortly after my separation I was walking around at about two in the morning and this came to me.
