Hello readers,
Cry myself to sleep
every night
living with insomnia
Toss and turn
every night
wonder why
I have insomnia
Too many thoughts
feelings and voices
in my mind
as my head hits the pillow
I need to learn
to quiet them down
way before bedtime;
Those precious moments
when you drift to sleep
dream
and you don't wake
until your alarm
finally rested
I'm happy, content
can have a busy day
don't have to feel lazy
just for being tired.
Love, Fida

What I needed to do was get up, do some yoga poses, stretches, leg and arm swings (takes the blood away from the brain into the limbs) and then was able to meditate and drift off to sleep...
