A poem about the land of the insomniac


Poem Artwork

A kaleidoscope of colours
Form a rainbow in my mind
A pallette of creation
That the darkest soul will find
 
I recall the realm of darkness
The everlasting fall
A step into the sunlight
Would shatter it for all
 
Ocean felt like thick tar
No motion or no sound
An uphill step of struggle
No feet would touch the ground
 
Eyes that shined like shadows
In a glitterball despair
No hand to lead a tango
Or heart to ever care
 
Colours are so muddled
No sense of artistic form
Just a blizzard of perspective
Alas that is the norm
 
I close my eyes and fall now
An endless drop so deep
To return tomorrow
In a world, I cannot sleep

You have beautifully described the torture of insomnia. I've had touches of it, but seem to get a full night's sleep whenever I get too far behind.

Having a sleepless night is one thing, but insomnia is quite another. I experienced it once, and hope to never have it again.
