I Don't Sleep

Just read it..

I'm in my bed
Under the covers
Listening to what's around me

I hear a plane go by
And can feel the force vibrating my house
I immediately think
"The plane will crash and I will die."

A bit later I hear the wind chimes outside
They make an eerie sound
I immediately think
"Someone is going to climb up my window to murder me."

I eventually get lost in my thoughts
But then, I hear a noise coming from my closet
I immediately think
"There's someone in there ready to get me."

I move closer to the other end of my bed
Far away from the closet
I look at the hall
The dark dark hall

Again I hear a noise
This time from downstairs
I immediately think
"Someone's trying to break in. So that is how I'll end up dying."

I wait silently
Sit quietly
I don't let my thoughts flow
Just incase they can hear my mind
Its wheels turning
It desperately finding solutions
I lie motionless
For hours to come

Is this just anxiety
I don't know

Is this normal
I don't know

All I know is that
This is why
I don't sleep at night

yes you have lost it Crazy Girl...hahaha no, I am just kidding ...although I would say you were a bit skittish with an overactive imagination...it does serve you quite well if you write all of this down and in detail to make excellent stories.

It is actually pretty normal! It happens to me sometimes, but i tell myself that I'm over-thinking things! :P
By the way, the poem is really great! :)

I feel sometimes like this too Aless, but I know that the brain plays games with me at night so I don't pay attention to it.
Great poem you have here :)

I wouldn't say crazy. I would say you have a fear of death. It's ok I have thoughts that are random too when I am trying to sleep.

Well, atleast I'm not the only one.. :)
Thanks!
