Insomnia

Insomnia

Tossing and turning
While lying awake
The thoughts in my mind
Are more than I can take

Going over and over
The day that has been
The feelings I had
And the things I have seen

Pondering and worrying
What the new day shall bring
Even I don't know the tune
To the song my heart will sing

Darker and stiller
My room will grow
The clock keeps ticking
This much I know

Minutes and hours
Will pass me by
Although my body tired
My mind will not subside

Nearer and Nearer
The morning will be
The lateness of the hour
Is all the eye can see

Then finally, at last
The sleep will overcome
My mind still a juggle
But my body to numb

Restless and unnerving
Will be my nightly dreams
Thinking to much
Can be hazardous it seems

Acceptance and patience
Is what I must find
To get some sleep at night
And my own peace of mind


Those who can't do, write about it, right! I mean, seriously. I only slept 3 hours last night. Love the painkillers for taken the edge off of my pain in my back, but hate them for the insomnia they bring. But even without the painkillers I couldn't be able to sleep because of the pain. I chose for the lesser of two evils.
At least the exercises the MT told me to do work a bit and my back has loosened up a bit. And work was ok as well. Laughter is the best medicine and I laughed a lot today! Fingers crossed tomorrow will be just as good, if not better!
