Insomnia.. Just like Ted.

Insomnia.. Just like Ted.

A Poem by Onlyme

He tried again to drift off into sleep.

But yet again he tosses and turns,
huffed and puffed,
and only ends up,
feeling frustrated once more.
Unable to go to sleep.

Insomnia is his curse.
The simple act of resting and
recuperation with your eyes closed shut.
To put his mind into a peaceful calm state.

He even tries a warm bath before bed.
A nice mug of Ovaltine.
Anything that troubling him that day. He wrote
it down before he got into bed.
He even had a sleep aid taping in the background
to keep him company and to
 distract him as he keeps his eyes closed.

Yet all this he is wide awake.  Staring at the wall.
Yet again...
Wondering why...
He just can not get any sleep.

Maybe it's because he is trying to hard?

Sadly I don't know.

All I know.

I have been their myself.
Insomnia is not a nice thing to suffer from.

With me, it's stress and anxiety that keeps me
wide awake sometimes. And other times. I simply
have no idea, just like Ted above.

I just can't sleep.
