"Daylight Savings"

Ignore the pain, Ignore the shadow sitting on my bed, Ignore the feeling shooting up my heart into my head---it's almost over and then it'll fade.
Ignore the hurt, Ignore the voices billowing in my room, Ignore the stars burning down to the earth from my space---it's almost over and then it'll fade.
Ignore the tingle, Ignore the laugh clawing through my throat, Ignore the stinging of my eyes locked to the words on screen---it's almost over and then it'll fade.
Ignore the words, Ignore the whispers jolting down from my ceiling, Ignore the yearning to shut my brain down to nothing---it's almost over and then it'll fade.
Ignore the twitch, Ignore the wishing of blackness to fill my eyes, Ignore the pounding against my skull---it's almost over and then it'll fade.
Ignore the want, Ignore the pleasure I could feel to lay down, Ignore the dreaming I may never see until I die---it's never going to be over and by then I'll be dead.
