A trouble sleeper a Overthinker that’s what I am at night . I toss and turn looking at my ceiling most of the time , I close my eyes but nothing seem to happen I’m awake when my eyes are closed . I imagine how it would feel to sleep peacefully at night . Maybe someone out there has the answer for me . I am scared if I do lay my eyes to rest it’s not the way I want them to rest . Above I see people throwing dirt on me whimpering over me saying now his eyes are laid to rest . That’s not the way I want to rest . Maybe someone out there has the answer for me . I don’t want to feel empty I wanna know how it feels to have a dream. Where the sky is blue like lavender and the sun is as yellow as the sunflower . wishing someone had the answer for me . I never wanted to be this way in between silence and a dark place . I wish someone had the answer for me . Feeling like I’m out of time to have a dream these whispers are getting louder to me . Pick up the razor leave it up to me , leave it up to me to lay your eyes to rest . That’s not the way I want to rest . I wish someone had a the answer for me . 😴🥀💧

The dichotomy here I believe is that you know that answer to the question you so cleverly pose as the repeated statement. “I wish..,,” admitting you’re scared and listing and recognizing a few better places , lavender sky and sun yellow sunflower yellow, is an indication that your finding that strength needed to resolve and your kinda raving up to do the hardest part, which is escaping from the corral of delay, possibly self imposed. This piece took a certain bravery to write and I believe that’s indicative of the resolve you soon will let surface. My best thought. I liked the poem.
Wow! I am a sleep deprived person, i could totally feel every single word! Well written and hope you find solutions to your issues soon 🙂
I went through that, my mind so active it wouldn't shut down. Tried counting sheep, nothing. If I could fantasise of something completely foreign to my F-upped situation I could find myself drifting off. That was years ago.
I now sleep like a baby.
