A Tale Of Chronic Insomnia Poem by Terence George Craddock

a tale of chronic insomnia
awake half the night more
restless mind churning speedy

still another hour or more awake
finally waking in morning slow seedy
afraid of slow day mistakes responses

how to stay awake by day
when awake most of the night
when enduring a bad nights sleep

a tale of chronic insomnia
written with simplicity purity clarity
nothing else nothing else was needed

Hemmingway would have understood
renowned writer Ernest Hemingway struggled
with insomnia demon no sleep deprivation
