Dark of night
Dreaded and feared
Nocturnal never-land
Frustrated tears
Welcomed by some who embrace the silence
Laid on soft cotton, pillow’s and sheets
Peacefully slumbering, resting recharging
Not wanting the morning to extinguish their dreams
Cruel and traumatic
Dreaming is frantic
Pain in my joints and cramp in my legs
It’s for a peaceful nights sleep that I beg
Wide awake fully refreshed
Energy levels are at there best
Enthusiastically off to the gym
Everything’s good in the world the healthy
Wide awake almost every night
Energy levels low, nothing feels right
A handful of pills to pull me through
And a nap during the day, will just have to do
Yes Darrell, been there. Well written but now I don't want to go to bed 🙂
Nice one Darrell
I think this will resonate with many, I like the contrasting verse between good sleep and bad. Sleep envy should be listed as a symptom of Parkinson's.
Oo-er.... So very true! It is reassuring to know that I'm not alone. A fine poem!
