My covers and I fight all night
I'm not sleeping well can't you tell
My restless mind can't unwind
Eyes are stubborn so I toss and turn
Life's so cruel I'm miserable
Blue turns red ricochets in my head
Body so numb sleep won't come
Agitated all night till morning's light
My problems blossoms
The rains came and nothing is the same
Autumn showers now devour
Things sweet seems incomplete
Tired eyes till sunrise
Throat so dry all night I cry
I cried for happiness went for a joyride
Trying to keep it inside, but the sadness I can't hide
Matters not what I do I can't breakthrough
So many issues so my tongue and throat argue
Made a great error and can't keep it together
No better for worst I'm cursed
In a trance as shadows dance
Specters flow to a slow tempo
Nothing medicates so I'm up late
Maybe it was something on my plate I ate
It's not my fate for my mind and eyes to negotiate
Suffering from the abuse for allies refuse to come to a truce
For updates my body waits
My heart pulsates and sleep procrastinates
Can't sleep so in the darkness I weep
Exhausted for heaven sake laying here so awake
Counting not a single sheep for the hill is so steep
Affording not the upkeep for everyone else is asleep
Like it. A great poem. Having no sleep is a killer. A great write. May i invite you to read my new poem called, Indian Brave.

A good poem.. In the night, when we we cannot sleep.. the mind gathers all the negative things going around us with us.. loneliness takes toll... I liked it :)
