Insomnia Sucks

I Just Need Some Sleep

By Mother CombsPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

I lay wide awake, tossing and turning, repeatedly

Night after night, it is the same old routine, time and time again

Overactive bladder is not the cause

Morning has arrived and I am not well-rested at all

Nightly, I find it hard to go and stay asleep

I need to get some good sleep in, sometime soon

All I want to do is shut my eyes and dream

Sleep continues to elude me, regularly

Under my eyes are extremely dark circles

Counting sheep does not work, ever

Keeping track of how many nights is stressful

Slowly, I am going crazy,

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
