Daily Doses Of Poetry

Late Night

I can't sleep.

My brain runs wild.

Stupid brain, why can't I shut you off?

Overthinking again, why can't I just forget?

Everything that happened is YOUR fault.
They said.
You have no one but YOURSELF to blame..
They said..

Thinking of all the things I could've done differently.
Thinking of all the things I could've said and done.
Thinking of things that could've protected me from the people that hurt me the most.
But no, these things haunt me.
I wish I could shut them up.
No, they won't be quiet.
They will remain loud.

Can't I just forget my suffering, just tonight?
Just so I can sleep?
I suppose not.
Things don't work that way It seems..

Wishing I could turn off my brain...
Wishing.... For better sleep....
