Not Quite Insomnia

By SubwayBoi

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Can't sleep,Mind is racing.Very hyper, Feel like pacing.Heart pounding, In my chest.Can't find,The time for rest.Sitting here, Mind is dozy.My brain just left, My body's cozy.I can never, Get to sleep.I just barely, shut my peeps,and then the distant voices call:'No sleep for you tonight, at all.''Well thanks a fucking lot,' I say.'I can no longer live this way.'So I put town my fucking pornography,And went to bed. Goodnight. Written October 15th, 2001 © on Oct 15 2001 03:25 PM PST   10 • 0 • 14
