Can not sleep

All that happens tend towards win. When it gets tensed up, end is close.

After such a secret is off my chest
Why is sleep still hard to find.
I feel drained mentally
after proclaiming you as mine..

- The emotions you are feeling are running strong through this first stanza. Boy, the feelings of a secret being lifted off your chest. Even so, they can take a toll on our psyche. The way you detailed this I can easily imagine you silently laying in bed listening to your heart thump

I'm home alone
Rugged up in bed.
Cats together sleeping
Paws right next to my head.

- LOVE IT! A simple and short stanza but so much imagination and vividness to it. Rugged up in bed, I can see you tied up in knots with your blanket. The cats such a great side note that really ties this scene in perfectly. (As I've been there)

Where is sleep?
Why cant it come?
A hundred sheep I've counted,
I'm running out of songs to hum..

- Insomnia is torture. I go through it a lot. The way you pieced the haunting of a sleepless night in this stanza is too real, I can feel your longing for the Sandman to visit you. The helplessness of wishing to just die because of how sleepy you must be.

Tried green tea
An hour later; milk and honey..
Yet nothing works!
This is way past funny..

- So sad.. I love the detail of what you've tried.. I love the way this entire poem is written, it's entertaining but for anyone who has experienced insomnia it can even be a nightmare of a read lol.. Love it.
