Insomniac

A Poem by Blackbird1968
"

Deprivation of sleep.

"
I am a disorder that captivates you at your weakest point. 
You'll beg me to help you, but I wont. 
You'll do anything to help you.
You'll see doctors, and take medications that aren't prescribed. 
I won't care. I'll make myself prone to it, and I'll continue to torture you. 
You'll lay awake at night and think. 
You'll think so much it'll make you sick, and I'll get adrenaline off of your dreariness. 
You'll try every thing you can to crack me down. 
I promise you that it wont work. 
But when you finally fall asleep, I'll wake you.
I'll wake you at a strange hour and you'll lay awake some more. 
In school, I will prevent you from concentrating and even with memorizing. 
That big test you have? I'll destroy it. 
That homework you were supposed to do? You'll forget about it. 
At any given moment, I'll take a rest but I'll make it at the worst times. 
In class you'll be taking notes on Napoleon and I'll make you tired. 
So tired, you'll crash. You'll miss the rest of your notes and even get a detention. 
You'll be sensitive to certain noises,smells,lights,and weather. 
You'll be uncomfortable all the time. It's because of me. 
I'll control your insomnia because I am insomnia.

Umm, I'm flattered someone wrote a poem about me...but it was way too easy to be this accurate.
Needless to say, I loved it. Clever and disturbing, meaning effective.

Thanks for sharing

Really? I'll have to read it. It's one of my favorite Beatles songs
