The Need to Sleep
Sleep is elusive
I’m counting sheep by the twos
If this doesn’t work I’m
Not quite sure what will.
I’ve been awake for days and
My bloodshot eyes are pure pain
But the gloom and the rain
Are helping a little.
Everything feels disconnected
As I try to protect
My fragile intellectual
Sanity
But instead I end up spouting
Profanities
