Caught, In The Middle

How insomnia is affecting me, this morning.

Flicking through

The various web pages

My attention wanders

To no point

Particular.

Trying to find

Anything

To grab onto.

Alas

Not.

As the clicking sound

Of the mouse buttons

Is forming

Its own rhythm

In my mind.

Still

My mind refuses

To focus

On anything.

But

The moving traffic

In the library.

As I try

To be creative

When my mind scream

It wants sleep

At all cost

For me.

Except

I can't surrender

To do so

Would be admitting

Defeat to my insomnia.

Something

I'm not ready

To do

Just yet.

Insomnia is a double edged sword. It fosters creativity while sapping our energy.

I know that all too well, KL. As some of my best writing happens, when I should be sound asleep.

Rest, there isn't...once awake how can one ignore what the universe is saying to us. Splendid read and write

Thank you, Brandon except my body isn't getting the need rest, for healing and the proper maintenance, which my diabetic body requires.

Meditation will help relax the body and mind. You are welcome. Take care of self so you can continue to share your beautiful mind. Blessed be.

Sadly, meditation only worsen my anxiety and PTSD. And thanks, for your concern about my health, Brandon.
