As the night sky pulled a trampoline on itself,
Dodging the stars and the moon herself ;
On the square bed, I toss and turn, pretty restless;
Ahh!!!
Sleep eludes me again.

My room is pitch black-
I am wide awake and thoughtless;
Felt like swimming in a sea, with no ripples.

I tried to dissect the cause of my temporary insomnia;
categorising, questioning even imagining;
Pretending to be my own shrink;
Is it heartbreak?
is it office stress?
maybe another wave of existential crisis?
Hey! what about your bank account - i am not broke right?
Am i suicidal?
Or is it the gloomy weather personifying my rather sinking mood?

But sleep eludes me again,
and here i am trying to be deep and finding out all the cool reasons.
BUt

"Madam!
You drank a dark,sugarfree coffee Grande
before bed", whispered my inner self.

"Shut up! you are destroying our imagination.":- replied my bored brain.
