Broken

Insomnia

Hey guys! It's 4:00 a.m. and I really can't sleep so I decided to write poetry. To all you who read this and have insomnia, you'll probably find this really relatable- at least I hope you do. I hope you enjoy the poem. Luv you all! 💙

I'm exhausted

But can't shut my eyes

It is silent

But there is noise

Inside my head

I don't know if this is normal

I don't know if this is right

How can I be so tired

During the daytime

And feel so alive

During the night

I toss and turn

I close my eyes

And I try

To get some sleep tonight

A headache forming

It's 4 a.m.

Don't think I'm

Getting up again

The sleep that I can get

Is very little of course

And reckless nightmares

That push my dreams

Off course

So I wake up sweating

But it's only 70 degrees

I always think

Maybe tonight

I'll sleep

But I never seem

To catch that dream

I have insomnia

It's a difficult thing

If I can't sleep

Then I can't dream

And if I can't dream

Then what does that mean

I have insomnia

They say it's a normal thing

But if it's so normal

Then why does it feel

So strange

To me
