What is on My Mind?

i'm laying awake and i cant fall asleep

 

What is on my mind?

 

Can’t sleep.

 

Too much on my mind.

 

I lay awake,

Looking at the moon through my window

As it is surrounded by billowing clouds in the night sky.

 

The strange thing is,

I don’t know what all is on my mind to make me stay awake.

All I know is,

That my mind is swirling with thoughts.

But I can’t recall any of them.

 

Now I know what I am thinking:

What is on my mind?

I know this feeling perfectly! Insomnia has affected me my whole life, so I can completely relate. It's unbelievably frustrating being unable to sleep because you're so preoccupied, but with nothing at all. Nothing helps. You just fade, eventually...

Excellent poem.
