Sleep and Death

It is the morning and I am up.
It has been weeks,
It has been months.

I feel tired and exhausted but my calmness is fading.
I don't think you quite understand,
What exactly I am debating.  

Between violence or death oh which do I chose?
Between now and the spring,
I can not promise you which to do.
 
I have been searching and looking for rest, for sleep.
Everything coming to a halt
Maybe I am overreacting.  

But I do not think I am and am rather quite pleased,
With both of the options,
Oh this might give me a laughing wheeze.  

Oh never mind the second phrase I said.
I am not tired,
But ecstatically dead.

Hahaha I don't need sleep.
Why would I need that?
I mean I dead, I can't even breathe.  

Oh who first? Oh who should I infect?
Maybe someone at school,
Or maybe someone closer and not in debt.

Maybe families are indeed the people I should choose.
Oh seven I live with
Which one will lose?

You know what why do hurt one,
When I could hurt all
By killing the easiest one.

Of course that is me and only my life.
Am I crazy?
Well of course not I am just fine.

So goodbye to all it was a fun ride.
Just know one thing...
Just know that I did have a mind.

Author's Note
First and for most. This poem is all over the place. it doesn't really cover one thing for me. It starts off with me being tired and ends with me being dead.
I don't really know if I can explain the poem. Honestly, I think I will leave each reader to their own interpretation.

I actually really want some help with how I can improve. Not anything in particular, I just feel my poems are a little under done if that makes sense?
