The struggle with insomnia

I haven’t been able to be creative lately because I am overwhelmed at the moment. I am finalizing my wedding, yeah right? I think it’s all done but now there are issues at work I can’t control, but as the supervisor must work to correct. 

Sigh. It is a struggle.  I feel helpless. No matter what I do each night I struggle to go to sleep. And worse, if I do sleep it’s for an hour or two then up all night. 

I should be over the moon happy and joyous.  I wish I could be. I wish all this anxiety and pressure could be removed. I am mentally and physically breaking down where I should be excited. I feel alone in this struggle, though I know I am not.

My fiancé can easily ignore stressors in life, lucky him. He can turn it off or tune it out. I believe he doesn’t understand my struggle. At times I believe he just wants to tell me to snap out of it and don’t worry so much.  But I am not that person and never have been.  I wish I could be. I gave tried. I even read a book on not giving a f*#k. Seriously it’s a great book, look it up. I knew as our wedding date grew near I would worry. Sigh…

So I struggle no way to release the stress, anxiety, worry.  Trapped. I am in pain. I need sleep. 

I write this in hopes that all the chaos swirling around me stays here. Stuck between these letters, in the cloud, out of my head and onto this digital page. I need it to stay, my health depends on it. Seriously, I feel so tired and sick and that just adds to it. I want to make it through this struggle intact. Right now I don’t know if I can. 

So to the pain, worries, anxiety, stress. This is your home, your spot. Inside this random rant I leave you. 

Insomnia, Tick, Tock

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tock, Tock, Tock, Tock…

Insomnia my old friend, the friend I never miss.

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick…

Insomnia you slut, run amuck somewhere else.

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock…

Insomnia go away, go away, go away!

Why do you come? Why do you stay? What can I do? What can I change?

Tick, Tick, Tick…

Sigh, I need the sleep, I want the sleep.  The night is so cold, so dark, so lonely.

Lonely-Tock, Tock, Tock-the brokenness of dreams scattered like pieces of a mirror.

Sleep, come to me, envelop me, take me, keep me.

Insomnia you bitch-SLEEP.

The screaming in my head continues, it bubbles up from deep within.  I am so drained, so tired, yet the darkness can be seen, go away!

Insomnia, let go, you are no longer wanted, needed, sought after.  You are a cruel mistress in my bed.

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock…

It has to someday stop.
