Jason Williams Poet Rhyme

Insomnia

Insomnia
by Jason Williams
 
As night draws closer 
my mind starts to wander
It’s preventing my slumber
my lucidity’s asunder
I wonder
If these long nights will end
Or begin
To settle in a peaceful manner
Can you tell me?
What’s this change in my mind?
It’s a shame I can’t find
What’s to blame, is it time?
I’M NOT FINE!
I just want respite
I long for peace in the night
Instead of screaming in fright
Wide awake clinging to light
This is my fight
Every
Single
Night

Darren White December 21, 2016 at 12:17 AM Insomnia is a horror yeah, and it gets you so tensed by the time it's bedtime, that it worsens it even more. Well expressed boo, captured it really as it is. Jason Williams December 21, 2016 at 5:34 AM Indeed, it's no fun at all. It takes so much from you. Thanks for your compliment on the poem. I'm so aquatinted with Insomnia that this one flowed rather easily from my pen.
