Elusive Sleep



"Waiting, for the elusive sleep
 almost there, just out of reach 
don't let me drown
 everything is not the same
 I, the grouch, without you 
 miss the days where I am completely refreshed 
I am not myself 
someone help 
sleep, elusive sleep
yonder there across the way
over the sleepy breath
under, under I go..."

What do you do when you can't sleep?  
I suppose I should have had some 
hot chocolate or something
 instead of writing nonsensical poetry
 in my head.

  2. It's not that I can't fall asleep. It's that I can't stay asleep. Lately I've been taking naps during the day. I know that is a vicious cycle/trap. But if I don't sleep the world becomes a hostile place.
