PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the degree today is the exact same as my closely

guarded birth year

I thought to myself how strange such a thing on the

car radio just now to hear

I was lost deep in thought when the weather was stoically

stated

bringing me back around to a new thought

one I never really felt but a feeling I know I hated

life as it is for me now

apparently was not originally fated

so what if the sentiment is just a little belated

you have absolutely no idea what its like to feel like

a suicidal insomniac

that is unless you too suffer from such a sleep

defying attack

I wish I knew the numbers and subsequent nights

I lay wide awake in search of sleep

hallucinations clutter my head in a choking horrific

heap

so I pray to GOD as well as to myself to please let

me lay down tonight and fall into the sweet embrace

of unconsciousness so warm and deep

and I will be forever in your unsoilcitous debt

for this gift you've been so kind to let me keep

Goodnight I hope!!..............
