I’m not an insomniac, and yet I can’t sleep.
Or maybe I’m dreaming of being awake. And in this
dream, all I do is think. Off switch. Try as I might, the thought
processing persists. I can’t stop over analyzing. Nonsensically being
with topics ranging from her to my lack of authenticity. Making
connections with all that was until I’m utterly exhausted
and wake. I’m not an insomniac, and yet these
dreams won’t let me sleep. Please.

Lovely. I once wrote a poem with this line in it: “Why can’t I close my eyes and open them to a dream?” This reminds me of it.

I can relate to this. Like seriously. Dreams leave us overwhelmed and they’re quite efficient in changing the thought process of the following day. O_0

I so can relate . I blame my erratic sleep patterns on too many graveyard shifts and an over active mind or dream state . Who knows . Lovely poem

Music sometimes soothes the savage beast of insomnia; lullabyes, like Neumi, Neumi; The Clash, “Lost in a Supermarket” (I don’t know… It worked for me).
