Ode to Insomnia

I salute thou, dearest Insomnia. 

Thou who keep me up nightly, 

And thou who art the cause of my fatigue. 

I raise my cup to thou, 

For thou have made me see many a sunrise, 

Whether 'tis my will or not. 

I praise thou, 

Even when I curse thou, 

My dearest Insomnia. 

Though art the bane of my existence. 

Yet, when hast thou ever deserted me? 

Ye olde faithful friend, I can't imagine life without thou. 

So, Insomnia, I love thou dearly. 

Remember my words with care, 

For soon enough, I'll be saying I hate thou.

Some of my best and worst work comes from insomnia! Don't stay up too late :)
