I’m a young wife and mum. I have always loved poetry. I won twice in a local poetry competition, once when I was very young 5 or 6, and again when I was 13. Every time I am feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated I create a spontaneous verbal poem to let out my emotions.

Sleep

Sleep.
It haunts me.
A whisper in my ear.
A thought I can’t quite reach

I breathe. Deeply. In. Out.
Over and over and over.
My mind is too crowded.

The dark is too dark.
The light is too light
Too hot. Too cold.

Eyes closed....
