Insomnia
Ahlem El Mezni
It was 1 am and I couldn’t sleep.
My mind was wandering... I was lying in my bed counting the stars I had seen one night on the rooftop.
I tend to think about something that happened six years ago, or maybe two hours ago!! Or something that could happen five years from now.
My mind was alive with words I couldn't say before, with words that I wish I could say one day!
My mind was alive for the homeless, the hopeless, the wretches, the orphans, and the broken hearts.
I couldn’t help but try to deal with this anxiety, or as I love to call it “My dark mood”; darker than my morning coffee, the music that I used to listen to, my current soul, even more than my black ripped pants which I love the most.
2 am!
I opened the window, cold air on my skin. I took a deep breath, tried to find the stars, and smiled at them like they knew all my secrets.
I watched around and admired the beauty of the dark blue sky that sits above my head.
The tree’s branch was dancing to the beat of my heart.
A little bird was looking for a warm place to cover up his feathers. And my neighbor’s kitty was wondering how to get in the house!
I started to shiver, my hand started to cramp and my nose blushed up, I crawled back into bed, held my teddy bear and I fell asleep.
