Midnight echoes

The click of the clock on the wall is what I hear. I cannot sleep and i toss and turn hoping I am able to get the desired rest I crave.
My body tears me from inside out and I am unable to get a grip. It has been one long day of serious work and pursuit of purpose and now, I cannot yet see what the hustle is about.

The midnight echoes from far yonder, I cannot stop the clicks from my head.

I need to sleep, but the night seems to be asking for my companionship which i am yet unable to give. School is in 4 hours and I cannot force the eyelids to shut. I need to sleep but the echoes come crashing down on me.

Midnight echoes, what echoes are you sending that makes it impossible for this weak body to rest?
