And still:
I lay my brittle head
Upon an empty bed,
Some call it self sabotage.
To some, I am indifferent, yet,
I find it hard to sleep.
I'd rather that
Than counting sheep
Instead.

This poem is something else. First the graphical structure has blow my head. Then the rhyme scheme. Even the words hidden in the ink stain (which I cannot see) have their impact on me.
Bee is indeed going to sting hie readers.
