Upon My Sleepless Nights

Upon my sleepless nights
My thoughts go on a rampage
My head, full of never ending fights
Rendered me to be in a cage

Within these bars
That I had created
I remembered all my scars
And wondered if it was fated

These memories brings pain
To my unbalanced mind
They aren’t something I can contain
And through time made me blind

I am to keep searching
For the right cure
Upon my nights never ending
I’ll see how much I can endure

YOU'VE GOT TO GET IT TOGETHER MAN..THAT POEMS SOUNDS AS IF DINNER WILL BE AT SEVEN AND IT'S SIX-THIRTY NOW I'D BETTER HURRY...YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN, LOOK AT THE WORDSDO SOME SEEM DISJOINTED?.WILL THE READER KNOW WHAT THE HELL I'M WRITING ABOUT? YOU CAN WRITE, BUT YOU'RE RACING THE CLOCK AND AS A POET/PUBLISHED AUTHOR WITH A B.A. IN BOTH ANALYTICAL POETRY/CREATIVE WRITING I CAN TELL YOU TIME WILL CONQUER YOU...TRY TO MAKE THE POEM LIKE A JIG-GAW PUZZLE, AND IF ONE PIECE DOESN'T FIT FILE IT DOWN
