INSOMNIA

Sleep, I need to dump insomnia
So please visit my chamber
You’re that husband who deserted me years ago
And made me a guard of unfortunacy

II
Sleep, I weep for your keep
Please possess this tired body
I am sure an angel wishes it
And pain of eyes scream it

III
Sleep
Sorrow follows your abandonment
Thoughts pile bales upon bales on thoughts
History is a tasteless cold dish on the table of my mind
So come and embrace me a little

IV
I am kneeling on the grounds of frustration
Begging with a heart needing alteration
Pleading with a mind needing your sweeping
With a bit of your touch
I know perspectives will be clearer
Please, please, just visit

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

I can relate. I’ve had insomnia for years. Finally I had to accept my condition because after over 10 years it’s not going to change.

Sad. I’ve had it for close to seven years. Lost my son on Monday so it’s grown worse, even the one or two hours is not coming anymore. It is a bad state to be in.

Oh No! I’m sad to hear this. My condolences and sympathies. Hopefully there’s a family member or Pastor you can confide in.
