Too often have I and so many I've encountered pondered the very reasons for being, to the point of frustration, especially in such an unpredictable and confusing world. For me, ladynyk's Insomnia-A dark nursery rhyme captures that sentiment flawlessly, and for three days I'll track'n'pester every deviant who doesn't read it. That is all.

Insomnia:

twinkle twinkle
little pain
I see you’ve come
to play again
lodged here in my soul so tight
turning brightness into night
twinkle twinkle
tearing ache
please let me sleep
to never wake….

…now I lay me down to sleep
my life in tatters at my feet..
if I should Wake before I die
I pray these tattered wings can fly..

twinkle twinkle
empathic strain
I never want to feel again
trapped here in this world so cold
where self is wrong
and Us is gold.
twinkle twinkle
falling tear..
how i wonder why i'm here..


more journeys to the world of angst..

Edit 12/23/02:
