i've struggled with insomnia quite a bit in the past

but recently

it's been a lot worse

countless nights of staring at the walls

eyes wide open

i want to go to sleep

so bad

my eyes feel heavy

heavier and heavier as the clock ticks

i can feel the eye bags forming

eyes get puffy

i can't sleep

i can't fall asleep

people judge me for sleeping so late

they don't know

that the night before

i lay in my bad

staring at the ceiling

counting the holes

counting to 100 and back

many many times

they don't know the struggle

of feeling like i won't ever go to sleep

feeling like i'm in a loop

a forever loop

of sitting and staring

waiting for my eyes to fall closed

the anxiety of how bad i will feel the next day

the guilt of taking a nap

insomnia

one of the most frustrating things.
