Gray

The insomnia came in cloud covered fragments
with its mother, Depression.
As silent and pallid as she,
her hand clasped tightly to her,
as if two gray spirits that moored
in a silvered sorrowful tide.

I get insomnia. Insomnia is the worst. Yes, depression is it's companion. Wish not.

I feel people who have chronic insomnia should be permitted to go on disability. My well wishes to you.

Thank you, Kim. This is one of the most common forms of mental illness. You are correct in saying many suffer from it. ~
