Noise gate

The night crawls by so slowly
I've lain awake most of the time
Watched the clock tick remorselessly
Soon my alarm will chime

There's something on my mind now
I can't seem to shut it out
Sleep won't come and find me
Can't mute the fear and doubt

Such a stupid mistake to make
That's brought me to this place
Impacting on almost everything
Even ashamed to show my face

And tiredness helps not one inch
But sleep's no companion of mine
It's why it's only 4am
And I'm writing out this rhyme

The volume is deafening
Can't find a way to turn it down
The consequences of my deeds
Just want to pull me down

But may be talking to myself
In this unusual way
Will help me find some solice
Before the break of day

Now my eyes are feeling heavy
For peace I can hardly wait
Glad I stopped to post my thoughts
Turns out this is a great noise gate
