I reek of sleeplessness
if such a thing has a smell
it is funny when I think back
to the days when I could sleep
whenever I wanted and there were
so few distractions from getting rest
and now I feel embarrassed for
even thinking about taking a
nap even though I know that I
could use one most of the time
back when a legitimate schedule
was in place those were the days
and there was consistency
having a child has changed me
some for the better and some
well for the worse at least it seems
some days I don't know if I am
coming or going and I forget what
I am even doing at any given
moment or day or week
that's another thing for sure
I used to have a better idea
of what my thoroughly planned
day was going to consist of and
now I just think in my head
whatever happens... happens
