Sleepless


I was a child
made my cries my mom
sleepless

worries of studies
I had in adolescence
kept me sleepless

in search of love
roamed my young heart
relinquished sleeps

whenever got
celebrations of joy
sleeps escaped

bore my heart  
reminiscences of hers
lived sleepless

now I am old
coughing in the nights
lay sleepless

poverty and pain
with whomever remain
mostly sleepless
