Insomnia

It sneaks up on me in the silence of the night

Although I try to ward it off with all my might

But its tentacles dig in, plant their seeds deep

O at its invasion my insomniac soul does weep.

For I know that there goes another night’s rest

Some shut eye is what I’ll probably get at best

There will be no sweet dreams for my poor soul

Even thought getting a night’s rest was my goal.

Well, I guess it’s another night of toss and turn

I can’t sleep; my lost love makes my heart burn.

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
