Restless

Can't stay still, can't be bored, can't close your eyes.

Keep moving, keep doing, keep producing.

Sleep is for the lazy, best chase your prize.

Ignore the slowing of time, keep trying.

When sun runs out, the moon will be rising.

Keep scratching that itch and hope it will pass.

Fill the void, the hours, with task after task.

Wish to God you could sit, relax, and breathe.

But there's plenty to do, get off your ass.

No break from its hold, forget a reprieve.
