Poem Commentary

Another sleepless night ...

Insomniac

Here it comes again ...
That same old feeling,
The one that always makes me want to scream.
The pounding headache ...
The migraine won't quit,
The urge relentlessly invades my dreams.
~zzz~
There is no escape ...
No denying it,
I'm just too damn weak to try and resist.
It's the temptation ...
That pulls me in deep,
Like a filthy habit I just can't quit.
~zzz~
Here it comes again ...
That same old feeling,
It's calling my name and urging me on.
It's my affliction ...
The monkey on my back,
That just keeps raping my brain until dawn.
~zzz~
Here it comes again ...
That same old feeling ~ ~

I think most of us who have reached adulthood with all its complications can certainly relate to this. Well put!

I'm an insomniac myself. I'm 20 and I've been the same way for as long as I can remember. I understand perfectly. Very good write, Sir.

Thanks Heartfelt! :) I am sorry that you too are inflicted with this ailment. I have been dealing with this also for most of my life. But, I look at it this way .. there are many worse ailments to be inflicted with and with this one there is actually a benefit .. We get to experience more life. As my Grandfather once told me .. There is plenty of time to sleep when you're dead. :) Thanks again! :) Ken
