Insomnia

by Robert Long   May 5, 2019


Here I lay
Wide awake
And I ask
Is this fate

1 sheep, 2 sheep
I count all night
Wanting to go to sleep
And be tucked in tight

but i toss and turn
with a racing mind
and i cant stop these thoughts
they're all intertwined

so here i lay
with insomnia as a friend
but i just want to sleep
So will this ever end

    Insomnia is a pest. But I love this poem. The rhythm and the easy words. Effortless read.
    One day soon, sleep will come easily. So keep fighting!
