ryone at some point or another in their lives. These poems serve as a self-reflection for the author, looking deeper into the ideas of what causes these spells of sleeplessness. Guilt, regret, overactive imagination, anxiety, love, pain, and a wandering mind drive the brain to a desire to remain awake. This collection attempts to capture those feelings that push one to insomnia, but they also reveal some of the wildest ideas that cross one's tired mind in the middle of the night.
