NO SLEEP
Sleep is a luxury, I can’t afford.
HAVING THE UNWANTED URGE TO LAY AWAKE IN SOLITUDE, IN THE DEEP OF THE NIGHT WHEN THE WORLD LIES STILL,
MY REST EVADES, TOSS, TURN, THE CLOCK TICKS ON,
I AM THE NIGHTS FOOL, THOUGHTS SPOOL, EACH PASSING MOMENT OPPORTUNITIES GONE,
MY DREAMS MISS ME, CALLING FOR ME, YET I CANT FIND THE REST,
STARS WHISPERING SECRETS, OLD AND DEEP, TO MY RESTLESS HEART,
HOURS STRECH, AN YAWN,
YET IN THIS SPACE, BETWEEN WAKE AND DREAM, THOUGHTS EMBRACE THE NIGHT,
WHEN YOU HAVE THE ISOLATION YOUR NOT HOPING FOR, IN THE MOMENTS OF NO NEED FOR IT.
REMEMBER, REMEMBER, FORGET, SLEEP.
