Losing Sleep

 

I seem to be losing sleep.

Don't know where I put it.

Maybe it’s the bleary-eyed scrolling

through Facebook's rolling pages,

on twitter swiping down for ages.

Hours on messenger conversing,

Spotify listening

to my favourite musicians sing.

Instagram images flood through my head,

Reddit threads keep me awake in my bed.

 

I seem to be losing sleep,

I'm sure I had it before.

Maybe it is beneath the debris,

the remnants of me,

that carpet the floor.

I could have left it in the fridge,

I'd better check, I open the door.

Could be behind the day-old sandwich

or the coke bottle mountain,

The stale cheese, the Cornish pasties.

Hmm I'm getting peckish,

I'll cook up some supper while I'm at it.

 

I seem to be losing sleep,

I looked behind my eyelids

doesn't seem to be there,

just a bunch of sheep leaping around

and they really don't seem to care.

They just jump the fences.

disturbing the  thoughts that I keep isolated.

Scattering them around

and no matter how late it is

they fill my head with their constant sound.
