Another Sick Day

Another Sick Day

A Poem by Amber Dawn Agin
"

How many sick days will insomnia bring me?

"

Light flows through my window

letting me know morning is here

I’ll take a sick day for insomnia is an illness too


Napkin white must be my favorite

staring at the color has passed the hours

I can’t remember ever leaving this bed


Darkness eventually wraps me up

pulling me into an exhausted slumber

I’ve grown to fear what I’ll see behind my lids


Dreams like a hurricane

bringing painful disasters and breaking me down

I cannot think of a crueller prison than my own mind
