The darkness falls, the world is still
But my mind refuses to stand still
Thoughts and worries, a restless tide
Keep me awake, side by side
I toss and turn, I flip and spin
My body weary, my soul within
Longing for the peace that’s gone
As the hours tick on, one by one
The clock ticks slow, the room is bright
The shadows dance upon the wall tonight
I try to calm my racing mind
But like a wild beast, it’s hard to unwind
The bed feels cold, the pillow hard
As I lie awake, lost in the dark
I miss the rest that I once knew
As the night wears on, my eyes are blue
I search for sleep, but it eludes me still
Leaving me to face the morning’s chill
I’ll wait for dawn, for day’s warm light
To banish this insomnia’s endless night.

Oh my🥺 I am so sorry you are still not able to sleep. I take it those sleep techniques I suggested not working?

Not tonight, but I will try in a little while to listen to some soft music, and dim my light, and if I can’t fall asleep I’ll read, I love reading, so I always have that as an option. X
