Insomnia

Another night with no sleep

Insomnia

So many thoughts fill my head

Not again! As I lie in my bed

Please let me get some rest

Another night under distress

Lying here I toss and turn

Legs twitching, start to burn

Finally throw the covers off

Feet on the floor, let out a cough

Another day with a sleepless night

Why can't I sleep? Why must I fight?

'Why must I fight?'
A nice closing to the poem. It shows not only the struggle with insomnia, but that it's more, it's a fight. A brutal one too. Here you are trying to get by, and how are you expected to put up with a good fight if you are lacking in energy for the mind, body, and soul? That's why I like that line. It presents the deeper - and darker - side of insomnia.

Nicely penned.
Cheers.

I know about this first hand. It kind of sucks.. but for me I can always find something to do at like 2 in the morning. Lol... I don't have pills for it, so i'm stuck. It's a dreaded condition... but some people say it's just "a phase". I disagree. Nice write, lol. Relate to it completely. Nice write :)
