Insomnia Poetry

Stray thoughts
unrestrained

ricocheting around
my weary brain

Runaway ruminations 

Holding sleep hostage

Replaying the day

All the witty things
I should have said

Solo role playing
future scenarios
on the stage
inside my head

Staring into darkness

My mind now racing
out of control

as dawn approaches

alarm clock imminent

Too late to sleep

Too late to solve life tonight
