Turmoil

Turmoil

A Poem by Jex

God I am so tired
The days seem drag on and on...
Sleepless nights plague my days
Trapping me seamlessly into a never ending Day
Sometimes I wonder if  am even asleep at all

I can't even remember the last time I slept so soundly
Can't even blame nightmares as even those demons seemed to have desert me
Sleeping in my own bed I still feel like a stranger
Surrounded by the silky white sheets and comfy plushy pillows
It all seems so pure and soft compared to the person who lies in these white sheets
I'm trapped in it's kind embrace,
 Nothing but a prison really
Forced to lay here as the night passes on, trying to seek comfort in the darkness waiting for the whole world to be awake once again

Laying awake till the sun rises
A torment of another sleepless night
Listening to the others in the house rouse from a peaceful slumber
Moving about as if not to disturb those who still sleep so peacefully
I am jealous, envious and defeated
A slave to this insomnia that seems to have cursed me... chained me... Ensnare me...
Its Nothing but never ending moment....

I've only rarely had nights this difficult. I'd say this transported me into another person's shoes.

I found this quite intriguing, kinda emotional as well

Well done. Insomnia plagues so many people. I usually sleep well but I do know the feeling of lying in bed wide awake waiting for morning to arrive.
