Too twitchy to sleep
Too exhausted to get up
Need a solution

Dizzy Days
Lying in my bed
Can’t get much sleep
I’m bobbing on an ocean
500 feet deep
Get outta my bed
Fall over my feet
Ain’t got no balance
Life ain’t so sweet
Ain’t got no balance
Life ain’t so sweet
Objects are moving
No way that they should
I’d sure change this stuff
If only I could
Get lost in the dark
Things all out of place
No way to get round
Find my way in this place
TV makes me dizzy,
Light blinds my thoughts,
Cars make me dizzy
Sounds dull my brain
The ground is bouncing
It won’t take my weight
I’ve lost who I am
How long must I wait?
Get outta my bed
Fall over my feet
Ain’t got no balance
Life ain’t so sweet
Ain’t got no balance
Life ain’t so sweet
Reading was my passion
Words my escape
Now all move around
Up and down on the page
Strictly’s impossible
The lights are a blur
Dancing and twirling
Can’t watch it no more
My world is spinning
My ears are ringing
My thoughts are a whirl
Or not there at all
My thoughts are a whirl
Or not there at all.
I’ve got the No Balance, Dizzy, Vestibular Blues!!

Reposting this as things are a bit tough at the moment, and if I can help anyone at all, that would be great.

Hand
He gave her his hand
She kissed it so lovingly
Then locked it away

Crushed
Crushed
By her too-high
Hopes again
She wasn’t aiming
For the skies
Or the stars
Or the moon
At the top
Of the trees
Or the vertiginous
High notes
Of a tune
Just for a sprinkle
More energy
A whisper less sleep
To help her spirits
Climb up
From the deep

Sitting on the Moon
I sit on the moon
Just to hear the tune she sings
Silver lullaby

Thunder
Thunder clouds gather
Along their shared horizon
Threatening their dreams
