To Lie Awake at Night

My first poem written by the glow of streetlights.

It is in the dark of night

When insomnia sings me awake

To the music of stars

And the deafening screams of silence

Made all too aware to me

By the spotlight of the watchful moon.

As everyone I love,

And everyone I do not,

sleeps soundly in their beds

I am reminded

I am alone

Thanks to insomnia's lullaby.

Author's Note

My first ever poem so any feedback is greatly appreciated!

You create precise atmosphere. My self I am also experienced insomnia. You write,well. Maybe you should make longer put more emotions and let reader more wonder . More explore how insomnia feel.

Nowt worse than wanting shut eye and the mind refusing your wish. Over the years I've counted more sheep than the whole Welsh farming community have violated behind high walls.....enjoyed the read
