Contrary to popular belief,
It's not just the inability to sleep.
Insomnia is that feeling of wanting to cry,
The hungry depression,
The blackness overwhelming your cold heart.
It's all the thoughts you refused to think
When you were fully conscious.
Above all else it's an empty, lonely feeling
That one should avoid at all costs,
If such a thing were possible.
