Sleep
Is a way
For the mind to rest
Then why does it do the opposite for me
I'm not rested
I'm tense
And confused
And tired
Sleep brings fear
And fear brings nightmares
Nightmares bring unrest
Unrest brings unhappiness
And that is who I am
Scared
Unhappy
Unrested
Some people
Can just drift off
Into a dreamless sleep
I wish it was that easy for me
No dreams
No fear
Rest
Sleep is also a word
For the physically tired
I'm tired
So why can't I sleep
Insomnia is my enemy
It's funny how
Times change
Three years old
And all I ever say is
I'm not tired
All I say now is I'm tired
But I can't sleep
That's the problem
