Insomnia

Insomnia

A Poem by ♥ Ari Skye ♥
"

A battle I can't seem to win...

"

I'm wide awake.
It's 2 am.
Alone with my thoughts.
A dangerous thing.


I should be tired.
Should be asleep.
Dreaming of him, and the

happiness he brings.


Instead, I'm awake.
Thinking of my mistakes.
Past and present.
And the future ones, that
will no doubt, take place.


Your annoyance with
my need of reassurance.
What can I do?


A tear slides down my cheek.
I try like mad, to fight the demon
who steals my sleep.


I'm wide awake.
It's 4am.
I don't know,
how to deal.

You've captured the marathon of what happens when one's thoughts run away with one's mind. Don't you just wish there was a don't wake my until morning switch. Great penning.

Insomnia is such a frustrating thing and the next day one normally wakes up feeling so tired, worse still, sleep decides to catch you when you have to wake up

I always hate to have this...to be awake when you don't want to be. It's a tough battle because the night stretch allows the shadowed thoughts to invade and make themselves comgortable. It can destroy you, ever so slowly.

the demon that stole my sleep
i watch as he enters my mind to torment me
he takes my dreams,he takes my sanity

I can relate to this... well except the dreaming of him part lol. I've been up til 2-3 am doing nothing and it gets depressing being alone with your thoughts. I love the way you channeled it into an awesome write :)

not being able to sleep can be the worst
i think this poem communicates that
and expresses the difficulties that can arise from this, and miscommunication with someone


good poem Ashley
