Insomniac

Restless I lie with a twitching eye 

In a darkened room devoid of light 

This perpetual phase 

Traps me for days 

Eternally awake in a never-ending night 

Shadows on the ceiling fabricate faces 

Glimpsing dreams that my pillow erases 

Outside the window, shadows reflected 

I stare at them senseless, 

Slumber rejected 

Nocturnal visions have ceased to exist 

Sleep has been dismissed

Circadian rhythms drumming off beat 

No dream. No sleep. 

Wake up. Repeat.

Well crafted and musically graceful I really feel I can relate to this poem too.

Oh yes! Crazy crazy Insomnia! Splendidly explained and beautifully expressed; you expressed almost all of the feeling which one can feel while suffering from this disease like a breeze of wind! :)
