Painsomnia

I am too tired to sleep.

My mind is rejecting any sense.

In silence I weep,

The pain feels like violence.

Digging for scraps of rest,

Has my anger rising.

As the caged feeling set,

I cannot stop the drowning.

In despair I laugh,

As my brain no longer regulates.

Committed to the clock,

And the hours ticking away.

The hopelessness sets in.

A feeling like scabs on my teeth.

As daylight starts to float in,

I finally fell asleep.

Only to have to wake up again.
