Lying awake, insomnia <br />Darkness engulfs the room <br />Eyes, unable to focus <br />Isolation, mind games, dooms <br /> <br />If you listen real close <br />Silence seems to sing <br />A melody of terror <br />Don't blink, eyes sting <br /> <br />Sanctuary of solitude <br />Open invite, can you resist? <br />Compelling and controlling <br />A game of life, a deadly twist <br /> <br />Unpredictable outcomes <br />Enter at your own risk <br />Bring along a playmate <br />Hand in hand, white knuckled fists <br /> <br />Dare to explore beyond <br />The darkness of the night <br />Join me fellow insomniacs <br />Sound sleepers, we bid goodnight<br /><br />Wendy Bureau<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/insomnia-51/
