Sleeplessly Haunted

Sleeplessly Haunted

Even when I try to sleep

I don't find peace.
I wake up in the middle of the might
Hugging my knees.

Endless times this process repeats
Of choking in my bed
It's freezing all around me
Yet, somehow I manage to sweat

I try to close my eyes again
But now thoughts are starting to reign
I'm tossing and turning but all in vain
Next thing I know, I'm back to sleep.

Oh how I can relate!!! Great expression of the insomnia that haunts some of us.

Third line, did you intend 'might' or was that a typo?

The silence of the night can make our thoughts seem louder... I know I have had many nights like this.

Those nights when sleep is hard to find. Usually the mind is working overtime. I like the flow of thoughts and the good ending. Thank you for the excellent poem.
