Sleepless Poem by Shankaran Kutty

Sleepless

Rating: 5.0


Things are just not going fine
When without a reason or fright
I stay wide awake all the night
Sleep just eludes these eyes of mine
It is not that mind is filled with sorrow
Or I had slept right through the day
Just that I do not find a way
To sleep well tonight and be fresh tomorrow
When the day has been long and winding
I end up so tired, my chores are done
I believe my battle with sleep is won
Yet sleep I find has gone a missing
I envy those who when they hit the bed
Crash to sleep, they are truly the blessed.

One misses sleep due to a number of reasons like anxiety, worry, too much happiness or sorrow etc. Most of the times it is a temporary phase, thus, nothing to worry. A beautifully penned realistic write that is meaningful and thought provoking too. Thanks for sharing.10 points.
