Sleepless

I’m wide awake I don’t know how don’t want to sleep I don’t know why so many reasons I don’t know which my brain is spinning I don’t know where should call someone I don’t know who should have a drink I don’t know what wish I could sleep I don’t know when I just can’t Wish I could close My eyes tonight AP: Honorable Mention 2020 posted on January 12, 2019

There seems to be an epidemic of sleeplessness among creative and sensitive people nowadays, and you have certainly captured exactly how it feels!

Agonizing and depicts the inability to sleep quite well; I feel the battle, the need, the exhaustion here.

Oh all the “I don’t know”. Very effective . It reads like a tossing and turning. :)
