Insomnia
-
I wrote this in a zombified state of neither awake nor asleep... so forgive the lower quality of this piece.

Too tired to study
Too awake to sleep
Here I am writing words
Which make sense
Not to you but only to me
I've had enough of ribosomes
And transfer functions
And eigenvectors
But my mind doesn't seem to have enough
Of this state known as wakefulness
Hazy my mind is
Drugged with a shot of caffeine
And a surge of adrenaline
Which comes from preparing
For a 10am test in the morning.
How I wish I could be
In one state or the other
Wide awake or fast asleep
Mutually exclusive
And not in a mess of both. -
I'm an insomniac myself and i can understand your frustration. You want to sleep but you can't, and youre neither here nor there, so you can't actually get up and do anything productive. It makes one feel really angry (or least I did).
Drinking milk and taking certain supplements seem to have helped me, but they don't work if I got stuff on my mind or there's something happening the next day.
They say regular exercise helps, but I've had insomnia problems since secondary school when I was active. -

Turn the functions
Discard the worries
And welcome dreams -

I was making wild guesses for half of my answers. Dang.
I'm in the middle of mid-term tests right now.... three down, one to go.

And welcome dreams
Toss the vectors
Turn the functions
Discard the worries
But what happens is
I can't think straight
Trapped between the states
Of being asleep and awake
Unable to embrace....
....peace and serenity
Of nothingness
The punctuation and end
Of the rigours and demands
Of everyday life.
(PS: I got another bout of insomnia last night. I ended up turning in at close to 4am and missing my first 10am lecture.

Attending morning lectures is a dreadful thought.
Lazing morning in bed is a wonderful thought.
