Sleepless Beauty

Why can't Sleeping Beauty sleep?

I lay here night after night,
tossing and turning
wondering if I should throw it all away,
and  throw in the towel?
or should I stay?
and just turn the other cheek?
while pretending like I don't see
whats happening right in front of me
I lay here thinking about the good times,
and the bad times,

I'm losing my beauty sleep because of you!

No prince to wake me from this nightmare,
no kiss to bring me back to life
without you I'm dead inside
trapped in a simple dream

"No prince to wake me from this nightmare,
no kiss to bring me back to life
without you I'm dead inside
trapped in a simple dream"
Amazing! This could be one of my favorite pieces of poetry. It was well written and beautiful! I can easily relate to this and it is full of heartahce. The title was clever as well. I am shelving this one

In "Sleepless beauty" you paint a picture for me of something like a pillow song; like the song with the catchy familiar toon, which try as we might we can not stop from looping endlessly. Hence "Trapped in a simple dream" and the loss of the beauty sleep. Very nicely written!

When the pain gets too severe is gets impossible to relax and go to sleep, the mind just won't let you. A very painful situation you describe in your poem. The pain of heart ache. Awesome write.

Can definitely feel the pain and saddness, anxiety in this.
The tossing and turning, oh gosh been there.
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is the right thing.

This makes me believe there are a lot of lovely lonely souls out there in a clean honest way.

Filled with pain and sadness, "trapped in a simple dream" is like a prison cell where the mind has to be strong and free while the walls close in on the physical
