Insomnia
I lie awake thinking
While staring at my ceiling
About so many things
To name a few: my day
Tomorrow
The paint chip on
The wall
How many days until
The weekend
Did I remember to do something
I wasn’t supposed to
Remember to do?
Will he leave?
I never said
Goodbye to my dog
Darkness
My heartbeat in my head
Sounds like footsteps in the hallway
If someone broke in
Would they hear
My screams?
Would anyone help?
This poem is about:
Me
My community
Our world
