anxiety to insomnia

sitting here everynight trying to sleep

yet unable to clear my mind in complete stress and fear

my mind constantly racing and my heart constantly pacing

fearing i will lose control and be consumed by stress

my mind constantly awake as my body yearns for sleep

i lay here awake wondering what tomorrow will bring

hoping for a better day tomorrow and trying to forget today

as this hole in my soul grows larger everyday

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i may not be good at writing but i feel much better knowing that other people may read this and relate to how i felt while writing this bit....

Firstly, I think you are good at writing, you express your emotions so well, and for me, thats what it's all about. Secondly, the number of nights I find myself sitting awake at 4am with all manners of things drifting through my head..well...it's more often that it's know. I know how it feels to yearn for some sleep...those nights when sleep seems like it would be a Godsend, but they never come.
Just so you know..someone out there in the dark hears you.
Much love
Anne
