Insomnia seeps into my eyelids.

Things begin to appear that i believe to be non existent.

Thoughts no normal person should endure

slowly creep into my brain.

In the mirror I see a troubled thing,

not quite human and possibly on the verge of death.

Is this normal?

Should I feel this way?

I ask myself aloud,

as I stare at this wall that has entertained me for hours.

What am I doing here?

How did i get to this god awful state?

If I fail to fall asleep soon,

the insanity will take me prisoner.

There is no escape.

    Nice portrayal of insomnia. I've been here many many nights. Had many of these same thoughts. Great job.

    Thanks for entering.
    Good luck in the contest.

    I hear you ...

    ... and have been battling this for many years. For me it’s from over producing adrenalin. All my life I’ve been up 2-3 nights per week whenever I don’t exercise. I need about 45 – 60 mins of intense cardio every day. Thanks for the write. Warm regards, Sultan.

    Very effective in its message ...

    of this state of insomnia.

    When I was a student, I once had to hand in a Sociology thesis that simply took more time that I planned for. Well, when I bathed before going to attend the class, with no sleep for two days and two nights, the water in the bath becomes alive with miniature creatures. I can assure you, that was the fastest I ever got out of a bath, tired or not!

    I handed in the task and went back to the residence, sleeping until 8 pm. Ah. It was the very good old days. Thank you for letting me go down memory lane again.

    Thank you for reading my work, too. I appreciate it.

    Love
    Myra
