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.
