Insomnia

This came out at 3am whilst unable to sleep

Voices out of nothingness

Feeding on my concienseness

Guilty of responslessness

The Angel in the darkness

 

 

Reach out touch the emptiness

This nightmare steals; forgetfulness

Cannot feel; ridiculous

Shadows look conspicuous

Recall the joy and happiness

Gone forever helplessness

 

 

Reach out touch the emptiness

The Angel in the darkness

Man. I have totally been there! And it is awesome when it inspires-and sucks when you are finally falling asleep-and then that most awesome poem or idea springs into mind-and you think: Should I get up or sleep?
I plan on keeping a flashlight and notebook in bed with me one day. On the poem: I like it-short and sweet..I do hear my old creative writing teacher and my head who would say "redundant?" regarding all my usage of ss'sss..And I would think: Duh, that's the point. So I think it's cool-and have no criticism whatsoever.

hahaha as a victim of insomnia i can totaly relate to this, i felt mesmerised by the repeditive sounds and couldnt have stopped reading that even if i wanted, in relation to insomnia you had me in a trance the whole way through that piece.

:) First of all, the title is what brought me here,
since I have had a long long affair with Insomnia ;)
I like this...it's quirky, oh so true, and written very
well. Your voice seems to be a fresh one and one
I will look forward to reading again. Welcome to
WC

from someone who also suffers from insomnia, i know how you feel.
it's a beautiful poem, simple, yet complex at the same time.
if that's even possible.
good job.
