INSOMNIA

I can't seem to
Nudge myself into fitful
Sleep. Perpetually battling the
Oppression of consciousness. They say,
"Mind over matter." But what about mind over mind?
No matter enters into
It. Only brain tissue, housing mentality.
And the knowledge that I still can't sleep.

I can't seem to promote the concept of
Normal sleep habits. My body refuses to acquiesce to
Sound slumber. At the very least, it's irritating.
Or at the very most, it's
Mind-bending agony, despair and hopelessness.
None of these things are very appealing. So
I lay back, frightened, resigned, and fully
Aware that it probably won't work out, tonight.

I can't fucking sleep.
No denying that.
Shitty state of affairs, really.
Or at least, disruptive.
My days all start out sleighted.
No true rest.
I'm pretty tired of it.
Also, I'm just plain tired.
