In-som-nia

 

I break down the word

like it shatters my life

as persistent as

a prisoner’s strife


A hidden affliction

in the dead of the night

leads to a feeling

that something’s not right


Will it shorten my life?

Some people think so

Engulfed in this nuisance

I try to let go


A release of ambition

annealed by fire

this things got me beat

no point in desire


like a marionette

I’m jerked on a string

I cannot fight back

it just increases the sting


a breeze passes by

I look up in hope

has the man and his hand

let go of the rope...


will I be free

to enjoy natural slumber

or does this clown

really have my number?


I get extra time

to read and compose

and look on the bright side

of no nightly repose...


Where is that Sandman?

I beg and implore

to show that controller

the ultimate door...
