Insomnia

Insomnia is for the content
too proud of what they have to dream
but too scared to let it slip into a nightmare.

Insomnia is for the artists
not wanting to miss a moment to sleep,
capturing every second of life.

Insomnia is for the intelligent
with magnificent thoughts unending
and clarity even in the dark.

Insomnia is for the pessimists
musing over each mistake they feel they’ve made,
unwilling to let sleep wash away their perceptions.

Insomnia is for the optimists
letting their open eyes be blessed
with the bright dream of life.

Insomnia is for all:
we cannot fight it
any more than we can fight sleep.
