Wide awake tonight
Shortly there will be sunlight
Inner voice active
Clenching my eyelids shut tight
Insomnia, what a fight!

It is so hard when the mind will not shut down long enough to let you get the rest you need. You have put it very well. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Sometimes I can't get to sleep because too many things stay upon my mind. Great poem!

Poetry is spiritual ventilation!

I know this feeling. I love the way you've written it!

Also, did I mention its wonderful to see you growing here in this new poetry home?

Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since

Haha... this reminds me of something I wrote sometime back called Sleep... It's about feeling sleepy, yet not being able to afford the time to sleep...

But yours is so cute! "Insomnia, what a fight!" That goes after drinking too much coffee?

I can relate to this. Though I'm not usually so gracious. Very good.
