Survival (of Insomnia?)
Head,
back, body ache in surprisingly harmonious
symphony
of pain. Tense limbs, muscles, tendons
taut with
strain; so I'm resisting nature's call and
denying
the pin pricks flicking through un-numbed
feet. I'm
reading poetic ponderings and sleeping
whilst
awake, as their words breathe through my
mind like
tempestuous hurricanes; so powerful –
but
whispers and lies and lures call to me; I yearn to
just
sleep, give in, but am trapped in my addiction.
Don't
let go. Don't let go. Won't let go.
Holding on
is everything (I'm still awake; alive), and yet
it's so
totally, surprisingly stifling: Survival is killing me.
