Last week I was suffering with insomnia pretty bad. Insomnia is nothing new for me, but this time was extremely bad. I don't know if it is because of the crumbling economy and my fears of it drastically affecting my business, the new girl I am involved with and the anxiety that usually accompanies new developing relationships, or a combination of both. All I do know is that insomnia was killing me last week and brought my mood down about  8.5 levels.

In my daily stroll through the world wide web, I came across this poem that really related to what I was thinking and how I felt last week while tossing and turning in my bed at 3am and beyond. It is titled, "The Person I Long To Be" by Victoria A. Mogyorosi.

Enjoy.

The Person I Long To Be

The day light breaks again
Another day has begun.

But still no sleep has come.
My body is weary

My mind overworked.
I lie awake thinking

But what I am unsure.
I need to break free from the cycle I endure.

Everyday is the same and the nights are undistinguished.
I feel as though I am being pushed along with the tide

Unable to break free from the everyday flow.
This is not me I need to change, before time takes over

And I am unable to change.
I need to be freed from the grasp of ordinary

And become that person I have always longed for.
Express myself in every way, and conquer the dreams as I lie awake.

Then I may fall asleep and put my mind to rest.
Make changes in my life and help those in need.

I would like to touch everyone's life in a positive way
And leave my mark on society before I fade away.
