INSOMNIA

My words still fall short of conveying the awful experience.

If only I could sleep. Instead, torture.

Night after night, hour upon hour.

Senses heighten. Stomach pain.

Old and new thoughts rush

My head. Without rest. I

Need sleep. It won't come.

I see the peace on your face

And envy your sleep.
