Insomnia and sleeping the day away.

Not enough minutes in a day,

hours seem to run away.

To much to do not enough time,

to many mountains to high to climb.

Waking up in a rush feeling shame,

everything is as it was, its all the same.

Nothing has gotten done,

for I fell asleep again with the mornings sun.

    I tend to feel that way about time whenever I’m trying to get things done. There never seems to be enough hours in the day. Great job on your poem. :)

    I feel that way at the moment but I am trying to be gentle with myself!

    There is never enough time to do everything.Sometimes we have to let go for awhile.
