Insomniac
There are some nights when
sleep plays coy,
aloof and disdainful.
And all the wiles
that I employ to win
its service to my side
are useless as wounded pride,
and much more painful.
Maya Angelou
Uykusuz
Ne zaman ki bazı geceler
uyku naz eder
umursamaz ve kibirlidir.
Ve tüm kurdugum tuzaklar
kazanma yolunda
yardimima gelsin diye
yarali bir gurur gibi bosunadir,
ve cok daha can aciticidir.
Maya Angelou
