Insomnicide
By Liath
The days get shorter
And my nights torturously longer
Insomnia suicide, I'm on the border
The meaning of love I'm left to ponder
From the dawn's early light
I yearn from the twilight's last gleaming
And in my head rages a fight
The storm enrages and now I'm screaming
Now the nightmares start
As the back cover of my story book closes
I'm shot in the neck with a no-sleep dart
As everyone around me doses

Perchance to sleep but not for you. What sleep deprivation can do to us who knows. Your poem conveys the confusion of sleeplessness I like the use of the stars and stripes banner lines.

Really live with so many thorns in our fleshes till we die, so many mosquitoes in garb of human. Your poem is fast moving and effictively gives the feel of the moment.
