This one is kind of funny because the last couple months I have been having trouble sleeping. I have a lot of things on my mind with my personal life and trying to push myself to get as much stuff done as I can to fulfill my goals. And it's funny that just like 8th grade Rachel, these things caused me to have sleepless nights.
I distinctly remember pulling this napkin out of my sack lunch and grabbing a pen from my backpack and writing away... Strange the things that you keep in the files of your memory.
Sleepless Nights
by 8th Grader
Rachel McClard
Sleepless nights.
Walking away from me.
Don't know.
Don't know why.
From beginning.
To the end.
Can't sleep.
Weird dreams.
Rather funny though.
Why not?
Why not?
How come?
Don't understand it.
These sleepless nights.
Wakeup. All the time.
How come!
Why? This. Is not normal.
Why?
Why?
Sleepless nights -
Sleepless nights -
This happens. Every night.
How come?
Because I try to fight.
Those sleepless nights.
Sleepless nights.
Sleepless nights ________
