Poetry || Insomnia

Couldn’t remember the last time she slept
Insomnia had been a part of her
And the few hours she had any sleep
Was always surreal
Restless and scary

Those nightmares kept coming
And you caused it
The nightmares
Accompanied with the headache

She did try to help herself
But the body felt it
And it was in pain
It was broken

Hence the sleepless nights
The body should rest at night
But it won’t
Neither will the mind
Until this cup passes over.
– Ajibike Oyindamola
