Poetry: Insomnia

I try to close my eyes and sleep,
but, instead my thoughts go so deep.

I picture myself at the edge of a cliff,
only the cliff is actually my mind.

I feel like I want to jump, but what would i find,
so, I just open my eyes again and leave a heavy sigh.

My thoughts race through me like cancer infesting my thoughts,
eating at my heart, for this is not what i sought.

My mind and body tremble with fear,
all I want are answers, that I would hold so dear.

I want to close my eyes and rest my weary soul,
and drift off to sleep, but my mind and heart are at a duel.

I do not know how much longer I can go,
I need to sleep and maybe I will never know.

My mind is running circles around my bed,
All I want is to slumber and lay my weary head.
