Sleeplessness
Going to sleep is a battle
with my beloved and my enemies
with my fantasies and my fears
with my favorite books and my hated movies.
Going to sleep is a chore
repeated each night
repeated each week
repeated each year.
Going to sleep is an effort
draining my imagination and my known
draining my patience and my anger
draining my soul and my demons.
Going to sleep is a race
not always won
not always worth it
not always fun.
Going to sleep is a battle.
Going to sleep is a chore.
Going to sleep is an effort.
Going to sleep is a race.
It steals my faith and leaves me
Running towards the next day.
