"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." - Ernest Hemingway


Me and my friend Insomnia,
we are a tale to tell.
Together, we are sleeplessly awake.

It haunts like a ghost,
and is there like an old friend.
Me and my friend Insomnia.

We dance and we fight.
We battle and it conquers.
Together, we are sleeplessly awake.

It watches in the daylight.
And acts in pure darkness.
Me and my friend Insomnia.

It never leaves my eyes,
and it stays near my mind.
Together, we are sleeplessly awake.

It is a menace,
I am a coward.
Me and my friend Insomnia.
Together, we are sleeplessly awake.


The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this piece because so many teens suffer from the issue of insomnia. I feel like maybe if someone put it out there, and it got published that there would be more attention drawn to the subject.
