Neurotic Insomnia

Tonight, for once, I lay down
with no worries to suppress.
But now, it seems, I miss the
aggravation and the stress.

I can't sleep to save my life,
I just turn and toss.
Could having peace of mind
really be some sort of loss?

Maybe fear, uncertainty,
and even desperate prayer
provided me with comfort
like a care-worn teddy bear.

Perhaps I'm over-thinking this
and I should count some sheep,
or take half of an Ambien
and get myself some sleep!
