People think I’m lazy,
Sleeping until noon,
They don’t see my misery,
Making judgments, too soon.
They don’t know that I have been
Laying awake for hours.
Tossing as well as turning,
Underneath the covers.
Finally, as the world around starts waking,
My eyelids feel like lead,
Now, what I’ve been waiting for all night,
I have to fight, instead.
Can so relate to this wonderful poem.
Thank you. I’m sorry that you can relate. We should start a support group. Try writing, it doesn’t have to be poetry just writing down feelings is quite helpful. Good luck, J
I feel for anyone who cannot sleep at night. I have been lucky in that regard. 🙂
Powerful words
Thank you for your comments. I’ll try and write something more cheery in future.
I look forward to publishing more of your work Jayne. Kevin
