Array ( [sid] => 157294 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sleeping [time] => 2010-02-05 19:07:36 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Sleeping in a room by yourself,
Easy for some.. hard for others..
Like me… I can not stand it..
So dark.. all alone and quiet
Wishing someone was there
Instead of the creaking of the house

I try to sleep but never can,,
I crawl into my mums bed
For comfort of someone else
I listen to her steady breathing
Until I drift into a sleep for eight hours

I wake up and feel so stupid
I cant sleep in my own bed
Without someone there
Scared of everything
Shadows and darkness everywhere

Waiting for something
Someone to jump out at me
Its never gonna happen
But it feels like it
I don’t tell anyone about it
Afraid they will think im a baby

My mum is taking me to a phsyc
See what’s wrong with me
I think im mental…. No one else does
I guess ill go to please my mum..
Who knows one day I might be able to sleep by myself

Sleeping in a room by yourself,
Easy for some.. hard for others..
Like me… I can not stand it..
So dark.. all alone and quiet
Wishing someone was there
Instead of the creaking of the house

I try to sleep but never can,,
I crawl into my mums bed
For comfort of someone else
I listen to her steady breathing
Until I drift into a sleep for eight hours

I wake up and feel so stupid
I cant sleep in my own bed
Without someone there
Scared of everything
Shadows and darkness everywhere

Waiting for something
Someone to jump out at me

I don’t tell anyone about it

Enjoyed reading this poem. Very innocent and really entertaining write.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
