damn its late
5:30 in the morning and no matter what I
try I just can't seem to get any sleep...
I feel like im drowning in the waters of
despair but im only in knee deep...
Its been like this for a while now
that i don't get any kind of rest...
Random thoughts flood my mind and my
heart feels heavy inside my chest...
How could I be surrounded by so many
yet im left feeling so alone...
The past keeps haunting me and there is
much for which I must atone...
Ive been offerd love at every turn but the
one I long for proves to be elusive...
Im treated as if insignificant so much so
its on the verge of being abusive...
6:32 now and beyond my window I can see
that darkness has given way to light...
So pay this poem no mind,at times like
these I simply feel the need to write...

I found this a strong, descriptive write. Reminded me of a time when I couldn't sleep at night, there's some powerfull lines here, and I think that anybody that's ever struggled to sleep will find this piece easy to relate to. Good choice of words and well written, great piece!
