Life is spinning around and around,
Sound after sound after sound after sound,
My heart pounds and pounds and pounds,
Sometimes I think it will jump out of my chest,
Please allow me some rest,
Depersonalisation,
Derealisation,
I am fucking done,
I’m not having fun,
I don’t know if I can sleep,
Weep and weep and weep and weep,
Another tonight,
They all say it’s going to be alright,
It’s one hell of a fight,
To keep tight,
And muster this might,
But I do not remember the light,
It seems so long ago,
That I felt any sense of peace or ease,
Please God please,
Let me into your kingdom again,
I can’t handle this pain,
Why do I feel so insane?
Yet also sane,
My body is crumbling,
My spirit tumbling,
Body pain never leaves me alone,
I wish I had a different tone,
It screams at me,
What am I to do?
Scream back at it?
Surely I’d wake up in an institution,
Don’t know if I’m coming or going,
Thoughts lost in translation,
I keep doing meditation,
My head is wildly scatty,
How could you understand,
This mess of a walking band,
A symphony with scattered frequencies,
Out of vibrational harmony,
Suicidal thoughts swim through my head,
I’d love to be dead.

Insomnia, anxiety and depression go hand in hand! Right now I am on the brink of insomnia. And that can trigger the other two. Sleep is everything. But we don’t always have control over how our minds work. My mind can get a bit psychedelic when I can’t sleep. I recognise a lot in your poem! I hope you’re okay!
Hey, thank you for writing this. My mind also can get psychedleic when I don’t sleep. They all go hand in hand, we are holistic beings. Sleep has been proven to be of the up most importance.. Thanks for recognizing my poem. Love to you. Hoping you are ok too. How is your sleep? Amber ❤
Hi Amber…. the truth is, that right now I am so title that I am almost afraid to go to bed. I fear not being able to fall asleep. A year ago I had severe insomnia for almost two months and I nearly went mad.
But I have decided not to panic when I lie awake tonight. Panic makes everything worse. I will beat this, because I have learned from the previous episode. I can do this, HOO HAA! Thanks for your concern. Not everyone understands this. Some people lie their head on a pillow and sleep! Unbelievable….
Thank you for posting, sending lots of love. Amber ❤
