Ruminate

I want to shut my mind off

Some sleep is what I need

At sleeplessness, I used to scoff

Ok, it’s real, I now secede

These bouts of sitting up awake

When all I do is think and ruminate

Are surely more than I can take

As they completely me frustrate

A cup of tea and slice of cheesecake

Do nothing but add to body weight

But soul satisfying, when I do partake
