Default 2am Rising...

Just about every night
I lay down at a time when my mind is throwing a temper tantrum..
*NO NO NO NO* it says..
I don't wanna go to bed..
Full blown 3 yr old rage..
Arching back, kicking heels..

I tell it to behave,
That we are going to be 40 this year and we must be responsible, do the right thing..

My mind says "NO"
loud and beligerent..
It wants to go dancing..
It wants to get into the car and go driving..
It wants to stay up and read..
It wants to talk on the phone..
It wants..
It wants..

It wants to have a later bed time that a 3 yr old..

Just about every night I have to coax my mind to sleep..

Reminding it that we are to old be to telling lies to ourself..
That we will NOT get up if we stay up just a lil longer..
That just a few more mins WILL hurt..

That having something you want comes with a price..

Wanting always has a price...
