Insomnia

 When the clock strikes two-ish 

you are awake , wide and feverish .

watching too many  tik tok videos , 

reading books , hearing audios

waiting for the shut eye , and bliss

your eyes it has given a miss 

Your heart is full of misgiving

Your partner is gently snoring 

What did you do so wrong 

Why is it taking so long 

why wont your worries go 

they come back in full flow 

Breathe in , breathe out ,

relax , eyes tightly shut ,

a dog howls n owls hoot

it smells of rain , without 

All the groans and creaks 

all the ghosts and freaks 

all the flaws and fears 

apprehensions and tears 

Life changing gear ,

it feels familiar 

the incessant sad rain 

heartache and pain 

It was here yesterday ,

and is still there today ,

insomnia is a constant 

stubborn, persistent
