Hello Insomnia

Long sleepless nights

My mind is racing

Too many emotions

Too many thoughts

The background noise not helping

Comfort I am seeking

Sleep is evading 

My every attempt at reaching for it

Just out of my grasp

Taunting me like a bittersweet memory

Giving me just a taste

Of the sweet embrace

That sleep has over me
