Insomnia

What time is it?

Damn. No. Not again

I toss and turn.

I smoke and burn

It’s been like this all week!!

I just can’t sleep.

So for now I lie awake in bed thinking

Sleep evades me

I’m too busy NOT sleeping.

I’ll write down this thought,

Try to pin it down, get it cought

On this paper … with my pen…

But then again…

It’s just rambling words…

Bumping, turning, rolling around.

But they don’t actually make a sound.

Only echo softly in my head,

While I lie here tossing in my bed.
