Dear Insomnia or whatever-you-are,
You seem to like me. Sorry to ruin your pretty delusion, but I like you NOT. I wish to end up our relationship. Don’t come up to my bed again. Never. Pretty please.
Last night we were discussing black holes, then we talked about my Physics test that’s coming up tomorrow, later about Tim Curry and his wonderful lips, and we were talking on and on for 3 hours. When finally you went back home, I couldn’t stop thinking about you, so I started to draw. I can’t really draw. I thought, maybe I can write then? But word seemed to be too far away for my mind to reach for it. Camera was already asleep, just like my computer and books. Only water was awake. But even this damned water, who had befriended with you couldn’t let me sleep. It became a dipole. I could feel it’s a dipole. I could feel by touching it with my tongue. You know what?
I hate dipoles.
So again, I was in my bed, trying to get an eye full of sleep. I guess I wasn’t trying hard enough, because I heard notes crawling across my blanket. It was you again, you turned the radio on and Pink Floyd started to play. I listened to their whole concert. It’s a shame autographs and lasers weren’t provided – you need to work on it really hard.
Later, I became so careless (or tried) I don’t remember a thing. You could do anything with me, rape me or sell my kidneys on e-bay, I wouldn’t mind, because I WANTED TO SLEEP. Close my eyes. Sniff my pillow. Shut down my brain. Dream.
And I did.
For 3 hours.
‘I feel good… I know that I wouldn’t… OOOH I feel good…’, my mobile sang, informing me that it’s 6:55 A.M.
‘No, I do not feel good,’ I muttered, turning of the alarm. ‘because I. Haven’t. Slept. Much.’ I hurried to kitchen and made some tea. A really strong one.
So you see. I don’t want you in my life. So get out. Goodbye, ciao and adios.
Hope to not see you soon.
Cheers,
Susan
Susan, come on, how do you expect to fall asleep with your radio on? And have you tried to lay with your eyes closed and to say to your Insomnia ‘I like you not’ over and over again?
I don’t have my radio turned on. It’s playing in my head.
Anyway, thanks for advice ;)
