A poem about a sleepless night

A sleepless night Flocks the mind Writhing it blind A futile state The body can’t take.

Tossing and turning Trying to fall asleep It’s a battle We can’t mend But try to end.

Slept A few hours Maybe two or three A forceful dizziness A whizzing brain A foggy mind Unbalanced And bouncy The sleepless night Robbed our minds.

The day is doomed Shattered and corrupt The sleepless night Has ruined our plight.

Nightfall arrives The day is over Sleepless shatters Our eyelids Closing them Tight.

A sinking Befalls us Into A deep dreaming state.

Sleep has finally Conquered Healing the mind Forcing it to unwind.
