Relaxation
After Hours
AFTER HOURS
Families in bed,my housework is done
Time for me to have my fun
Peace and quiet is a treat on its own
Sit back with a coffee,on my private throne.
I keep the TV down,I creep about very quiet
Will I try something new,maybe I will try it.
I write some poems,read my book
Think of my day,any liberties took?
I sit up till about 3, I have trouble sleeping
Some nights I fret,I've been close to weeping.
I worry too much,or maybe not enough
My brain is too active,full of random stuff.
Have I got it easy ,or is my life a bit tough
Kids starving round the world,definitely have it rough.
I think I can help,I give money each week
To kids and animal charities,does that make me weak?
My heart goes out to the kids who are dying
I can only give money,that's why I'm crying.
I would like to do more,go abroad,give aid
Then maybe my guilt will be truly repaid.
Would I help these people,my disability might make it worse
I hate not being active,car crash was my curse.
All these thoughts,notions and ideas
Some times the only heighten my apparent fears.
Quivering wreck some days,strong on the other few
As I think I am better,my fears just grew.
I do the dishes,maybe mop the floor
I hear a chap,who's at my door.
Has fate came to claim me,do I get another chance
Do I get some happiness,on life's long dance.
My mind is a torrent of never ending voices
Telling me what to do,giving me constant choices.
Even when I reach bed,I struggle to sleep
Remembering past family members,I still see them weep.
If I had the chance,my brain I would clear
See if I can wake one day,without no fear.
I would love that moment when I wake with a smile
Sadly I don't see it coming,at least not for a while.
My time.
i sit up most mornings till after three.I suffer from insomnia,but I tend not to dwell on it.i sit at night and amuse myself with writing,or maybe some television.i love the early hours of the morning.its so quiet and peaceful.this time at night in my opinion is the best time of the day.then,by the time four o'clock comes,then maybe I can go to my bed and sleep.i don't usually drop off immediately,after lying awake for a time my body tends to give up ,and I get about two to three hours sleep.better than nothing.
Some information,
Exhaustion
up all night,hardly sleep
some days I feel like I could weep
try to keep busy,find a job to do
after a while,wont feel so blue
fighting tiredness and pain
what royalties do I gain.

this is a daily puzzle,I cannot fix
then the mind starts to play tricks.
tricking me,hear noises,see things not there
hell of a situation,really not fair.
will it ever end,light at the end of the road
or am I forever cursed to carry this load.

What Are the Options?
lack of sleep can be a major problem for people.i deal with it daily like its second nature to me now.a lot of people crack under the pressure of not getting enough sleep.a lot of car accidents are caused yearly because of this exact problem.and as many accidents in the household occur each year due to lack of sleep.theres no immediate solution springing to mind.ive seen Doctors,specialists and none of them could come up with a credible solution to the problem.they as much as said,there are no other avenues to explore,basically I was to deal with the insomnia by myself.to say I was surprised and annoyed by this response is an understatement.maybe there will be a cure in the near future.heres hoping.sooner rather than later.
