Insomniac

If you are an insomniac by choice, don't be. If you are an insomniac by habit, change the habit. If you are an insomniac and can't do anything about it, seek help. Get professional guidance. Do something about it.

Sleep is often neglected and ignored. We lead a busy life, where time is a constraint, and peaceful nap a privilege. Don't succumb to the pressure. Sleep is a necessity. It is as important as breathing or eating. Do not shy away from it.

Your health is important. Prioritize it.

3 AM

Have you ever witnessed a 3am horror?

When the lights are out, and you can visualise, in the darkness, your fear taking shape.

Have you ever felt it to be real?

Was it ever, in fact, real?

Waves And Beaches

I could hear the waves

serenading the beaches

the cool breeze whistles

draped in moonlit gown

you appear by my window

the lawn flowers blush

Rat and I

(Image Source: http://www.nfrs.org)

help me Lord

oh help help help

help me today

please help help help

'cause there is a rat

under the mat

wish I could have

a large brown cat

who would chase it down

and hunt it out

and free me from fears

and nervous bout

the clock ticks twelve

it's still in sight

the time now two

what if it bites

I close my eyes

and shudder in fright

is it on my pillow

squeaking this night

a rush here, a hustle there

I could't take it longer

turning on the lights

I headed to the ladder

picking up the broom

and a stick as well

I pledged to myself

to make it's life hell

banging the stick

I hurried to my room

the rat smiled, winked

zip zap zoom

teasing and tossing

it ran to the kitchen

disappearing out of sight

all of a sudden

I retired to my bed

but eluded by sleep

what if it returns

my mind haunting deep

I closed my eyes

breathing in and out

wait, did I hear it again

the rat's squeaking pout
