Insomnia

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

I think I’m just going to give up on sleep

Let all those mangy thoughts that keep

Dancing around in my mind and reap

Havoc, like some odd nightmare, they creep.

The clock glows one-thirty, then three

I nod off and hope to wake and see

At least six or seven

That would be heaven

But no, it seems to be stuck at four

Why can’t I stay asleep any more?

Guess I’ll get up, and open the door

To the fridge for cold water, watch it pour

Could it be thirst was keeping me awake?

I’m back in bed, open a book that will take

Me into a different world where it seems

That sleep is the hoped-for fantasy dream.
