Short poem about emotional stress.

No sleep, no peace from all this grief
The respite is pleasant -
Alas all too brief.
The torment and pain
Is wrecking my brain
A dreamless slumber –
My psyche, asunder…

    Great poem, the words embody stress and emotional pain perfectly. I’m only 16, but unfortunately the events that life has handed out to me have led me through similar feelings and I know what you’re talking about. Good job, keep up the good work.
