48 hrs I've been going on like this. My eyelids heavy, My limbs motionless, My heart beating out of my chest, My head spins with every movement. I try so hard And yet I get no where. I toss and turn between my sheets. I yawn until my insides are out. My brain has given up, Yet my mind races with random thoughts. I hope tomorrow is fun. I wonder if I let the dogs out. Why am I so cold? My stomach hurts. Holy Shit! Just stop! Shut up! My body aches, my eyes burn And here I am thinking about pointless nothings Instead of concentrating on the darkness. I long to just fade away. The restless feeling would stop, Comfort would be accomplished, My eyelids would slowly grow shut And slumber would be found. ****************************************** I wrote this like an hour ago because I was frustrated with the fact that I've been up for more than 48 hrs and I still can't fall asleep. I'm begining to notice that all my writing sounds the same, so if you have any pointers, I would lvoe to hear them.
