The Insomniac

''I kept finding that rest,

which lies behind my closed eyes,

the one which I have long lost,

and since then, it is all in my tries,

it feels as if I am cursed,

of being sleepless, being insomniac,

as I believe my soul has a longing,

to burn and find its peace,

in pain and scorching heat of this life,

I kept finding that touch,

which could lull me to sleep, all night,

perhaps, it was the missing love,

or agony of being a wanderer for dreams,

still, I tried to catch sleep, 

but all my efforts were futile,

and I tried harder to not be my inner self this night,

the insomniac...''
