Insomnia

By: Aidan Power, Staff Writer

Eyes red and sore

Feels like lying on the cold, hard floor

Toss and turn

Cry and moan

The numbers climb on my bright phone

Get up to relieve my bladder

After that, I just get sadder

I overthink the day's meaningless mistakes

All the problems that don’t matter

Squirm and stretch to relieve my aches

Stomach rumbles, pillowcase wet

Crawl out of bed tomorrow full of regret.
