Written: September 07, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ I can't sleep at night, so I stay alive. I am awake, and I search and strive. I'm no warrior, just a bumbling scrambler. Restless nights render me a rambler. I crave a paladin, a light to guide my way. Yet, gloom reigns, and all hope wanes away. Into a cloud of tedium and torpor of a tongue. I long for silence, for optimism to be wrung. Capsized in an abyss of frustration, For solace, a catalyst in this desolation. My gloom clings to such a symbiote spawn. Snarled metastatic root quotum-dot drawn. Hush, my tired soul, and let illusions fade. In this darkness, all that is a masquerade. Seek not the light, for it is only a gleam. Rather, apply the recess to deem it a dream. In the gloom, where shadows dance and play. It is a quiet oasis where anxiety withers away. I need faith, resilience, and perseverance. To explore this squalid earth sans inherence.

Hush, my tired soul, and let illusions fade. In this darkness, all that is a masquerade--beautiful, poetic!

This made me so sad, as ive seen so many loved ones struggle, unable to sleep, for some sleep is a task that seem unattainable, i hope you will soon get much deserved rest and now i see where your insomnia leads to, poetic ink that is so beautifully crafted. As always, your rhymes and imagery and flow is impeccable. Cant believe in one day you’ve written such profound poems, every poem just equally stunning and worth the accolades. This poem is so touching and moving and i felt so much readin

Sigh, I can truly resonate to the gloomy ambience of this piece.. Anxiety, sleeplessness, restlessness, suffering and unknown frustration all these just elevate the soul to a dead life.. But how we yearn to free ourselves from their cruel chains and explore the tiniest fragments of nature that may give us some solace.. Every line here is so palpable and soul stirring... I definitely love this one so much, you're a brilliant poet who can make the readers feel these vulnerable emotions..

You are describing depression, a fate I know all too well. Or I knew that Bi***! I refuse to live there and have done my best to move out and evict her. Most excellent job!
