Chapter 18: Dear Insomnia

Darkness (A book full of poems)Words: 622

Laying in bed

Staring at the wall.

My eyes are so red

Tossing, and turning

My train of thought just

Won't derail for the night.

Am I sane?

Because I'm starting

To feel a little insane.

I just want to sleep, but

The demons oh the demons

Just won't shut up.

Am I okay?

Will I be okay?

All these pills they

Hand me don't work.

They tell me to count

My sheep, but how

Many sheep do I have

To count to keep my

Eyes shut tight to keep

Out the bright lights.

I can't get any sleep

Is anyone there?

I need some help oh

This can't be good.

This pain kills me;

Oh dear insomnia

I just want to sleep,

But you're making me stay

Awake.
