I Can'T Sleep

How I cannot sleep at night. Is it the creaking of the cupboard That gives me a fright? Or maybe because of The nap in the day When I slept in the car The whole long way. Or maybe because it's too hot But it's too cold When it's not. Or maybe because there's traffic outside And there's beeping and honking Through the night. So finally I fall asleep, But I still couldn't sleep For the next whole week!

Nghi, welcome to Poetry Soup. This is a great start for you! I have felt this way - "maybe it's too hot, maybe it's the nap I took in the car" - great self-reflections my Poetess friend.
