Insomiac Blues Poem by Austin Lockwood

Waiting for sleep's welcome embrace
Thinking and thinking my mind starts to race

Another sleepless night filled with thought
For in these late hours great mental battles are fought

Nothing interesting on TV to enjoy
Just unconvincing marketing ploys

Mind reeling like an old VHS tape
Thoughts blanket my mind like a thick velvet drape

Body begging for sleep but my mind won't comply
With these thoughts in my head seems pointless to try

I turn to my prescription for a solution
To help clear my mental pollution

Trazadone works well so I'll give it a try
Goodnight waking world until tomorrow goodbye
