Insomnia Poem by Travis Peterson

Insomnia



Down to my last cigerett
This sleepless night full of regret
I'd pray a prayer but I don't have any left

In the past nights like this have come and gone
But this one won't seem to show the dawn
So I'll just stay up and sing this song

The faded writting on the wall
Tells me to stand fast and tall
But it's hard when you're feeling so small

This is a powerful poem. Your last line sums up how this person is, driven by insomnia till almost pushed over the edge. Putting a limit on the number of prayers is also very effective. Its subtle but perfect.
