I am the city, that never sleeps.
I go on and on, and on and on.
Day after day.
Night after night.
People are born. People die.
People fall in love. People fall out of love.
People come. People go.
I stand here, the same.
I don't wake up. I don't sleep.
I stay.
Rusting.
Renovating.
Restructuring.
My roots run deep.
My spine runs firm.
I am the noise.
Breaking into the stillness of being.
I am the silence.
Gasping in the middle of noise.
I smoke. I quench.
I live. I age.
I exhilarate. I replenish.
I exhaust. I deplete.
Day after day.
Night after night.
Every beginning must come to an end
Every captivity must give way to its rupture
As I await mine. The salvation. The avalanche.
It's one more silent night tonight.
It's one more deafening night tonight.
It's one more sleepless night tonight.
Day after day.
Night after night.
People are born. People die.
People fall in love. People fall out of love.
People come. People go.
I stand here, the same.
I don't wake up. I don't sleep.
I stay.
Rusting.
Renovating.
Restructuring.
My roots run deep.
My spine runs firm.
I am the noise.
Breaking into the stillness of being.
I am the silence.
Gasping in the middle of noise.
I smoke. I quench.
I live. I age.
I exhilarate. I replenish.
I exhaust. I deplete.
Day after day.
Night after night.
Every beginning must come to an end
Every captivity must give way to its rupture
As I await mine. The salvation. The avalanche.
It's one more silent night tonight.
It's one more deafening night tonight.
It's one more sleepless night tonight.

Hey!!! very well written. In fact made me write below lines in reply
I witness a phoenix in pain
Seeking peace at heart but still no gain
Standing firm along with own rules
With extending help to all and never be rude
Having all defense in place and letting no one intrude
The day you be little selfish
The day you reclaim
Will be the day you relax,
the day you fall asleep
Thanks Gaurav, for the like and the concern. It's important to highlight that it's pure insomnia and got not much to do with pain, unselfishness. There was a phase and that's over. What's being sticky is the inertia that the phase was tagged with. Inertia of restlessness, continuous thoughts, plans, actions. Its slowing down for sure. Will take a while before it dies off.
