why can't I sleep?
can't sleep
head full of useless
thought
worms
eyes open
body feels like
cement
insomnia arrives like
a new born
baby
screaming
demanding
attention
warning me of mass
destruction
come the
dawn
no light switch
to flip
off
shouldn't have had
those four shots
of expresso
today

Sounds like you answered your question... although for me, 4 shots is about how much it takes to make me functional each morning.
Insomnia really sucks. Well expressed.

The metaphor of insomnia as a newborn baby screaming and demanding attention is powerful and evocative.
Maybe next time one expresso will do

Yes. I must learn to cut myself off at one.
Thank you for the good words, NuBorn.

Oh, insomnia, that ever losing battle we come face to face with.
It's interesting how our brains are running a mile a minute fully understanding the consequences.
Great work.
