I lay in my bed
Willing every fibre and cell that I possess
To help me simply
Sleep.
I tense immensely
Biting my lip
I try to breathe
I feel hollow
Yet all the energy pulses through me
Somehow pressure
Impacts on my skull
Exactly where my head lays
On my pillow
I am ashamed
Why can't I preform
A simply task
Easy as eating, breathing
I am ashamed
That I cannot sleep.
I am frustrated
With myself, my mind,
So my body spasms,
My arms, legs twist and jerk uncontrollably.
I am frustrated
I cannot unwind.
Yet somehow
I always wake, calmly
Unaware
Of how I fell asleep
