Insomniac

I'm so tired, 
but cannot sleep.
My eyes are sad,
but too sore to weep.
My heart is heavy,
sorrow fills each beat.
I'm hungry,
but too tired to eat.

I am too hot,
but my feet are cold.
I pretend to be happy,
but have a lonely soul.
My head aches,
for my body is angry.
I need to sleep,
but nothing will calm me.

In a world where so much is available to experience.... with instant gratification being at our fingertips we have a society where Depression has increased in documented suicide cases by 25% in the past 2 years...... Insomnia is something I wrestle with... but not because of depression but because of pain issues..... My point is that, in your case AIMEE, you're obviously gifted within two different mediums for self expression... yet you still deal with serious anxiety that affects your sleep...... the world is moving so fast in every aspect, that as human beings it is difficult to keep up with it all.... the only thing that helps me is Meditation and the ability for self expression..... you should thank your lucky stars that you are able to express yourself so beautifully.... it helps.... it REALLY does!!.... sorry for rambling but you've touched upon subject matter that is dear to me... and you've delivered it Beautifully..... well conceived and VERY well crafted VERSE... with excellent rhythm and timing at its foundation!!......ALL STARS!!... well done dear poet sister!!.... and......WELCOME to COSMO!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo ?✴❤?
