Struggled to Sleep
Sleepless was the night
When mind flurried into thoughts
Night slowly descended
Then light filled & lit the room
Realize... day has come
I can feel my body
Heavy of exhaustion
Eyes, and head, unsteadily aware...
I wonder
Why I've not slept
Ponder for reasons
Yet
No word comes to mind...
I am half-alive
Search for the blame
For what kept me awake
Then I remind myself...
Of what went through my brain
Dreary thoughts
Undying lust
All that I've bled & yearned for...
So I write To settle
My thoughts, curiosity
In hopes to finally fall asleep
To restore my life force
When mind flurried into thoughts
Night slowly descended
Then light filled & lit the room
Realize... day has come
I can feel my body
Heavy of exhaustion
Eyes, and head, unsteadily aware...
I wonder
Why I've not slept
Ponder for reasons
Yet
No word comes to mind...
I am half-alive
Search for the blame
For what kept me awake
Then I remind myself...
Of what went through my brain
Dreary thoughts
Undying lust
All that I've bled & yearned for...
So I write To settle
My thoughts, curiosity
In hopes to finally fall asleep
To restore my life force

It's a complete shame (for me) that I know this feeling...wouldn't wish this on anyone....

Thank you for your sharing dear Prometheus lol
But unfortunately my mind babbles a lot although I try to concentrate on breath and tapping my foot keeps me up....
Masturbation... I've heard my friend does that as well... But I don't know.. it has always woke me up after a session...
I greatly appreciate your presence here !

you captured that moment perfectly..

I can certainly relate to these words. I struggle to sleep every night, or morning, usually. I always fall asleep from exhaustion. Never get to sleep at the same time twice or wake up without an alarm clock, unless nature calls... I sometimes find harmony in music that soothes me to sleep, but if the songs playing are ones I like, I end up wide awake listening to them. Try finding a radio station that plays light classical music at night and play at a low volume, take two aspirins and call me in the morning, lol...

Yes, music always seemed to help...
But this particular moment, my mind seemed particularly active..
I've never been a big fan of aspirins... maybe I'll try when sleep becomes absolutely crucial if these days keep piling up...
Thank you so much for your kindness and heart to my struggles...

Think we can all find ourselves here at times, the mind just won’t stop and the harder you try the more impossible it seems to become.
I tend to spend those kind of nights wasting time lol, so I’ve no good ideas I’m afraid but you’re definitely not alone <3
