sleep

I don't like sleeping anymore. not in the dark under my heavy covers. trying to pretend nothing can reach my feet. tucking my arms against my sides and repeating it like a mantra
'nobody is trying to get you'
tensing up and sweating and trying to get comfortable. and soon I roll across the bed and fall into misery stemmed sleep. And my feet tuck under covers so that nothing can reach them.
