Insomnia
Insomnia….
It’s like drowning.
It’s like:
You’ll never know when you’ll see the surface again.
To smell the Georgia Pines, or sneeze from springs first dusting of pollen.
You’ll never experience laughing until your ribs ache, or your cheeks cramp.
Insomnia.. it’s like drowning in a deep, deep, dark sea..
Spot light only on you. While you sink.
And sink…
Sink…
It’s the worst storm of your life..
Waves crashing over board- sweeping you off your feet.
Your life boat deploys…
It leaks…
Air hissing out of the holes.. there’s…..bubbles..
You’re doomed….
Troubled??
One side deflated, while the other fights off an army.
Trying desperately to keep your head above water.
There is no flare gun.
No back up water,
Food, or supplies.
Just you,
an angry sea,
no company….
Eventually.
You sink…
Sink..
..
Sink.
It’s dark..
pitch black.
Is this it?
Just me?
All I’m meant to be??
Why me??
hold on..
For light…
Light brings answers..
brings company..
Right?
No..
Not right……
You kick,
fight,
swim..
swim..
SWIM!!
Your surface.
Is that rain??
Mist?
Fizz?
You gasp,
You laugh.
You breathe...
Breathe……..
You BREATHE
Look at the sun..
You whisper..
“I’ve got this”
