something i wrote during a bout of insomnia.
**eyes open**
we are born, new to the world, without a care to think of.
very soon, we open our eyes and gaze upon the world around us.
we grow , learning, failing, trying, crying, hurting.

wrote this one night when my insomnia was at its worst.
a darkened night
there's something wrong with tonight.
what's happened?
the night air is very close, too close...
Poetry, insomnia
I sit in the darkness
My elbows on my knees
I stare at the ground
As it's useless to look around
For all I will see
Is the dark that envelopes me
A moment later
I change my mind
And I look around
To see what I will find
But all I see is...

how insomnia and staying up to late affects me personally.
tick... tock... tick... tock...
never before have i been so capable to be able to compare
my bedroom clock... to a hideous metronome.
Bedroom, Brother, Poem, Sad, Sleep, insomnia, time
Sometimes I lie awake at night
Fending off the dreams
The ones where I see you
And you're always smiling
I hate those dreams the most
Even more than all my nightmares
For every time I close my eyes
I have to see your face
And remember you...

Thoughtzzz... (can't sleep...again...)
A thought less than needed, my eyes stay open wide
Darkness lines my face too deep to hide
Nights stare at me & the ceiling, waiting till day-break to move too far to find for a while
I belittle the whispers...
Poem, Short Story, insomnia, life
Cold clouds coiling around the pregnant moon.
Night is calling to me. It is rising. It is soon.
Secret scents nocturnal up are swelling, and above
The moon rolls like a mirror of the face of her I love.
I will not go outside tonight, will nor...
Couplets, Poetry, Spondaic hexameter, Werewolf, insomnia
I lay w'in the darkness,
trying in vain to sleep
as tiredness makes me weep,
and aches upon me press.
Early to work, late to rise,
toiling away noon to night,
all thoughts by morning, crosswise.
Perhaps this time I'll stay awake
and bask...
Freeform, Poem, Poetry, Rhyme, insomnia, sun, sunrise
Zzz-less...
Surrounded by silence, crowds seem imagined at best
I can't seem to dream when I lay eyes closed at night
I simply get lost in thoughts, waking from nothing, or nightmares, leaving with a little rest
I can only dream with eyes open,...
Poem, Short Story, insomnia, life, slice of life
with pain and sorrow i look to the morrow
the wind feels cold i have no home
from dusk to dawn threw thick and thin yet i stiil feel hope within
a spark of fire from the flame is it hope am insane?
truth be told and truth be spoken
yet im still...

**Restless**
Lady Luna wraps herself deeper within the cotton sheets
Deep sighs rush through the trees and tussle the leaves
Never does she keep her pose, ever searching for comfort
Her travels take her 'round the world, to no avail
