As soon as I fall into slumber,
I am instantly awake.
Oblivion lasts a moment
too short for my feeble mind to take
enough respite for the inevitable
responsibility of a new day.
Why can’t tomorrow wait?

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

Oh, I wonder the same thing, why can't it?? Felt this so deeply. Sorry if this is truth for you. Not sleeping really sucks. Beautifully penned though!!
