Can't sleep

I lay here in bed
Reading the works of others,
Admiring is what I should say.

Is it really admiration,
Or is it jealousy
I'm not sure I can tell you the difference

I just can't help but wonder why I'm not as good as them
My words don't flow as well
Other poems can be described as a river, a beautiful river
Mine however is a puddle. Full of mud.

Why can't I sleep?
The thoughts of anything I do being horrible creeping into my head
I can't enjoy others work without feeling bad about myself

Maybe I have a problem
Maybe I'm just tired
Or I could need sleep

I guess I'll never know
