Story of an Insomniac

Story of an Insomniac

By emily2u | From the Heart | 10 Sep 2021


Laying in bed

Waiting for sleep  

To overcome me.   

 

I hear the clock strike  

It's midnight again  

Still my eyes wide open.     

 

Mind thinks of this that  

Like a busy highway  

Of tasks in the morn.     

 

Tired is my body   

Yet I can't rest  

Listlessly I roll.     

 

Can't sleep, get up  

Drink more warm milk  

One more pee stop.     

 

Force myself into  

A horizontal position   

Pull blanket up to eyes.
