Insomnia
History repeating itself
I look at the ticking clock on the shelf
My mind ticks in time, as the clock chimes
Counting the 100th sheep over the white farmers fence
Will this night never end?
Eyes opened wide
As if caught in beaming headlights
As I pour my cup of tea
I must eat a sweet biscuit
My tired brain
Now zapped wide awake
As I eat my sugar intake
Middle of the night
I’m losing my insomniac fight
I give in
Switching on the TV for company
Reaching out to technology
My iPad and smart phone
Checking, if anyone is up
I slowly sup
To quench my thirst
Insomnia is getting worse
I toss and turn
My mind ticks in time, as the clock chimes
I look at the ticking clock on the shelf
History repeating itself
