Sleepless nights are a routine
What does it have to take just to dream
I'm only fifteen and I'm worrying about things that are unclean and unseen.
I'm in a daze.
I'm realizing it's not a phase.
I haven't slept in nearly a week.
My mind is going to freak
No one knows
No one cares
That sometimes the only sleep I get
Is in a school chair
I can't fall asleep
this disorder is elite
I'm begging and crying
As my eyes are prying
At the sight of my bed
But I guess the only sleep I'll ever get
Is when I'm dead.

When it becomes a disorder treatment needs to be done . I lost my thyroid to cancer 17 years ago . The thyroid regulates your bodies chemistry and without synthetic hormone replacement I would not be able to sleep and eventually go insane .Every so often I have to stop taking my synthroid to let the body sort of reset . After two weeks I'm hearing voices , seeing things and it's impossible to sleep .Sleep is precious .
I was diagnosed with insomnia a bit ago, I've had traumatic things happen to me that cause me to have flashbacks and not sleep. I'm getting treatment for that and an eating disorder at the same time.
I can feel your frustration and anixiy in your poem. It is well written and I love your rimes
I've been threw a lot to. The one thing that helps me with mine eating dis. is I make soothies. I blend various frozen fruits with a banana & oatmeal (add water).
There are Camille tea pills they make me relax. You can also make the tea and mix it with apple juice to give it a sweet flavor.
Keep writing, ur good at it & it helps❤️
I have an eating disorder as well, I was hospitalized for it for almost 2 months. I'm glad that you found something to help you, I'll be making poems about eating disorders if you're interested!
I can relate to this, in a sense. I have a hard time getting to sleep, lying awake for hours at a time before eventually succumbing to exhaustion. Once I fall asleep, I sleep normally, I think. On a second note, after reading your profile, I think I could help you improve your writing, if that is what you seek. Thanks for sharing! ~
Well thank you! I'd love to learn more!
