Napowrimo 2024. Day 20. Tired.

Napowrimo 2024. Day 20

Due to a busy day ahead and the official optional prompt not up yet, I’ve gone with my own flow.

Tired

Lay here in darkness,
I’m turning over again and again.
Trying all the techniques,
Deep breaths, slowly in and out.
Meditation music is playing in my earbuds,
Still, sleep eludes me.
Stress stratching my head,
Once started, it’s hard to stop.
A mix of pain and anxiety,
Busy day ahead.
I will endeavour to push through,
Even though my head feels like mush.
No one wins with sleep deprivation.

  1. Had a similar night myself, so was awake writing about The Moors Murderers. Now that’s enough to give anyone nightmares! Strange what comes into your mind when you are sleep deprived. I hope you have a better night tonight. 🤔
