Stages during the night

2 am:

 

A poet’s breeding ground

Where ones soul is awake

And ones mind is at ease

Whose body is tired

But cannot go to sleep

 

Sleep is an insomniac’s nightmare

But also their fantasy

Day dreaming all day

Prevents dreaming at night

 

3 am:

 

Eyes get heavy

Body gets weak

Everything but my brain

Falls asleep

 

4am:

 

1 sheep

2 sheep

3 sheep

still not asleep

 

5am:

 

light turns out

eyelids shut

the internal music stops

I finally begin my sleep

I really enjoyed reading this, and how you divided every hour. Especially liked "3 am" and "4 am". This was super good, really liked it!!

I like the way you present sleeplessness. clever layout.
Thank God, I've never known this but I understand it all too well. I know a few whose lives are a living hell.
