Awesome poet over at Andys Merdon agreed to participate in my interactive poetry this week! The words they gave me were (Casual, Minds, Pleasure) and heres what I came up with!
Insomnia
I wish I could take a nap
It would bring me such pleasure
But I can never quite bridge the gap
Into sleep, so I guess I’ll never
Be able to rest my mind
If I am wide awake
So im in a bit of a bind
And my eyes are starting to ache
I really want to go to sleep
But I just cant
I’ve tried counting sheep
I could rant
All day about how I envy
Those who can sleep casually
But that wont make my eyes heavy
Sleep just won’t come naturally
I just want to go to bed
Im starting to feel ill
If this keeps up I might end up dead
Guess i’ll just take some nyquil
Thoughts from A Rambling Psyche 
Take heart… soon you’ll have a meditation technique that will help! 😉

Nice one , I must say it is this insomnia which made me write certain works .Lack of sleep, anxiety , depression , a pen and a paper , well, that is more than what I need.A man who has ‘creativity’ will of course find it difficult to sleep, his brain won’t shut down that much easily , You will always be swimming in the ocean of thoughts and ideas , 🙂 That is what I have experienced.

So true. I am a chronic insomniac and can really relate to this. It somehow sucks more when I cant even take a nap than when I cant sleep at night!

The worst part for me is when I ever actually manage to take a nap. I wake up feeling worse than I did before.
