Up All Night

I sit in my freshly messed bed,

covered in only a thin blanket.

I will not sleep,

I tell myself.

I will wait till

the sun has risen.

Then I shall feel.

The blinding light will pour in

through my open blinds.

I will scream,

as if being burned to a crisp.

My mother will run up.

Look at me.

And go back to the TV.

..........

I shouldn't even try

to get her attenton anymore...

I couldn't help but listen to the song along with this :) just to be saying...I like bring me the horizon...I have some of there songs on my Ipod...anyway back to the poem...it's kinda depressing that your mom dosn't care...mine is sometimes like that but then again we fight constantly...

awesome poem, but I think the mother part of the story is very depressing and horrible that she doesn't care!

I love it. Kinda reminds me of having insomnia, which sucks :/ But I love it!! :)

It's not easy to tell ourslves that we aren't going to sleep...it then slows us down and we end up sleeping anyway. But I have this type of relationship with my mom, always wanting her attention but she's always so busy. I've tried to get her attention, to earn her affection...she pushed it away, so I bothered to not try anymore. I understand your message here. I can relate.

Wow, this was deep. In fact kind of sounds like my kids sometimes. I wonder if they felt the same way when I sometimes was in my own world? Makes me wonder..

Loved this! Showed allot of emotion here.

I like the way you seek attention in this poem. I would laugh first then maybe be pissed off later. A excellent story in this poem.

I agree with Demonz!! the world will die if you get depressed :D but I like this alot, it's deep and emotional. Great write Naomi (:

lol
maybe a little extreme of a way but we do what we have to
keep trying and she will come around
sometimes parents are just overwhelmed i think

I have given up on attention from my mom. But now she is getting better. I loved the poem. :) I can relate which is what the author wants.
