Sleepless Nights

In the darkness of the night, when all is still The mind awakens, with thoughts that thrill Tossing and turning, with no relief in sight Sleepless nights, a never-ending fight

Memories flood in, from the past and present Each one a burden, a constant torment Regrets and worries, a heavy load to bear Sleepless nights, a relentless affair

The world around us, is quiet and still But the mind races on, with no chill Anxiety builds, like a storm on the horizon Sleepless nights, a battle with the unknown

We long for the peace, that sleep can bring But the mind refuses, to loosen its grip on everything We lie awake, with eyes wide open Sleepless nights, a cycle unbroken

But even in the darkness, there is hope A glimmer of light, that helps us cope For tomorrow is a new day, with promise and light And sleepless nights, will give way to a new fight.

Having had nights like these brings this poem to that level of enjoyment and relatability.

This was nice. Fortunately I don't have very many sleepless nights at all.
