LJI:W2 Living rent-free in my head

[spydielives]

When I lay me down to sleep,

then my demons start to creep.

They fill my head with dismal thoughts

and torture me with mental knots.

They persecute me, and enslave;

Denying me the rest I crave.

Conversations never made,

All the debts that are unpaid,

Arguments that can’t be won,

Plans and plots that are undone.

Once I finally got some sleep, things did indeed start to get better. Thank you!

[sweeny_todd]

wow. I really enjoyed this - not your pain, but cadence and the juxtaposition of the lying down and up. excellent work.

[spydielives]

Thank you.

I loved this, particularly the nursery rhyme rhythm and rhyme scheme. The opening couplet was great! I had never heard of dumping syndrome, so I got a little education to go with your fun poem.

[spydielives]

Thank you.

Hugs! I’m familiar with dumping syndrome, it’s definitely not a good way to get the rest you need. I hope it gets better. Love you!

[spydielives]

Love you too!
