Afraid To Sleep

Dear M,

You have captured the feeling of insomnia quite brilliantly. All the ways the mind won’t shut off so sleep can do its healing thing. Exhaustion just feeds into fear creating that wretched cycle. Well penned for a frustrating situation. H🌷

Thank you! I'm glad it came across the way I wanted! :)

I pray when retiring claiming the words of a Psalm, that God gives sleep to those he loves (in the King James Bible it is rendered 'He giveth his beloved sleep' - a phrase sometimes seen on gravestones which I think misleads readers into thinking it's about death). Always I have woken up from sleep next morning, however few the hours. This might be an idea to try.

Thanks! I'll definitely give that a try. :)

Know that feeling all to well myself it does invades your subconsciousness deep making it hard to fall asleep nicely composed dear poetess...respect

Thank you! I'm sorry to hear that it's so relatable though. :)

Yes it is but it is apart of life mysteries cycle of lessons to learn as we grow with growth mentally and emotionally and physically and spiritually..respect dear poetess
