To be honest,
I had a rough night.
A bad headache,
I just didn’t feel right.
Now it’s morning,
and I have to go and do.
Trying my best,
just to muddle through.
What is focus?
It doesn’t exist for me.
I keep drifting,
from where I oughta be.
Don’t ask questions,
I can’t think of such.
Don’t annoy me,
and it won’t take much.
Ms. Cranky Pants
will probably show her head.
I wish I could
take a break and nap instead.
All I ask is,
help me through the day.
If I were you,
it’s best if you stay out of my way.

This sounds a bit like me after a bad night!! Although I’m finding age seems to be causing me to be less effected by a sleepless night – at least I think it’s down to age, can’t think what else it might be. I used to get so stressed by hours of lost sleep. I just get on my computer now, and stop lying there trying to sleep. If I only get a couple of hours – I manage. And probably the following night I’ll sleep like a log – makes up for the bad night! 🙂
I’ve come to realize on my “sleepless” nights I’m getting more sleep than I think. Just not a restful sleep. The older I get though, the more these kind of nights kick my butt. I am still trying to learn to unwind and let things go for the evening instead of dwelling.
Yeah, it doesn’t always work 🙂
