Inside Parkinson's

Tired of being tired 
Wake up every day
Check my feelings.
Check my body. 

How do I feel today? 
How does the body feel? 

Am I well? 
Am I rested? 
Am I shaking? 
How do I feel? 

Many mornings, 
I am tired 
Sooo tired. 

Remaining for the morning, 
Sometimes the entire day. 
I don’t know why. 

Finding it hard 
To do anything, 
To exercise 
To think 
To reason. 

Sleep 
That is all I want. 
Sleep all-day
Sleep all night.

Each night 
I wonder, 
Will tonight be the night.
Will I sleep 
Or stay awake? 

Tiredness. 
Affects me all-day 
No desire to do anything. 
No desire.

Taking sleep for granted. 
Please, just let me return 
To the sleeping days. 

Frustration rising inside me 
Please let me go back.
To the days before 
I had this disease. 

What to do 
When I am so tired? 
Do I fight to continue 
Do I rest? 
I need a way through. 

Sleep must come. 
It is essential to life. 
Not enough sleep,
Affects everything. 

Thinking stops, 
Moving feels like 
Walking through the mud. 

SLEEP. 
ALL I WANT IS TO SLEEP! 
Please may I have peace tonight 
And a good night’s sleep.
