While the world sleeps

Memoirs of an insomniac...

While the world sleeps,
I lay awake,
struggling to find peace,
fighting this restlessness...

Unanswered questions

and raging thoughts echoing in my head.
I fail to pacify this turbulence,
I try to sleep,
to shun these thoughts,
but like ghosts they haunt me,
interrogating my beliefs,
strangling my faith,
instilling a fear...

Fear of the past that I suppress,
fear of loosing the present I nestle,
fear of what the future holds.

I get no peace,
this fire of thoughts,

it fails to cease.

What do I do?
Where do I go?

I want to run away,
bidding good bye,
in search of the answers.

But here I am,
as I lay awake,
while the world sleeps,
looking around blind and blank,
with voices filling my head,
waiting for something to ease me,
to give me the answers.

Why does this happen to me?
Why do I care?

Here I am,
talking to myself,
still not able to sleep.

These thoughts they suffocate me...

I close my eyes, try to sleep,
but nothing seems to work.
 

The world's still sleeping,
and I still lay awake.
These are my nights,
What do I say,
I'm getting used to it,
becoming a nomad,
an insomniac..

A wanderer by night,
In search of answers,
exploring the unexplored...

My life...

haha Yes at times thoughts seem to capture you and make it so you can not sleep...I think we all have this from time to time, though some more than others. I listen to music to try and keep my mind focused on that especially when nights like this happen. It seems to help but depends on the person.

Good Job
