Insomnia

by Ren   Aug 11, 2014


My thoughts are raucous,
Uncut,
And mean.
They pinch,
They prod,
They wonder things unseen.
Tumbling aimlessly,
Inside my tired mind,
With no regards to fear,
And no regards to time.
Breaking through the borders,
Of memories buried deep,
Tossing and turning,
I only wish to sleep...

    Awesome as always :) 5/5 of course. For such few words it captures the exact feelings. But you already know all this all too well. :p

    Insomnia is something not easily described. People tend to trivialize mental illnesses and not fully understand what the experience is like. I think this poem is excellent in bringing people close to what insomnia does. Great job. 5/5
