The restlessness of not able to sleep when you want to. My thoughts go to writing.

The darkness is bright Despite theres no light Nothing in sight Just my eyes desiring To be sealed tight In hopes that i might Be able to sleep tonight Though it doesnt seem like it Im still relentlessly trying Until the point my eyes go dry Dry enough i cant cry Just still lying In bed with my head on the pillow It never helps to be mellow Only on nights im walking around I'll get tired enough i can lay down Laying in bed til i pass out on a cloud Fast asleep im bound to dream without sound Carefree happily no longer restless Soon ill be dreaming and no longer helpless

I remember my insomniac nights. Problems would keep me up at night. You have clever lines that describe the semantics of the title. Well done, Skat

Good write Criss, Not a nice thing to suffer from, but they usually do sleep after many days. And that probably is the best sleep of all!!! Enjoyed this Kevin
