NaPoWriMo: Day 21

More short verse on a lack of sleep


headaches, a body refusing to to as the mind wants
stimulants in the veins sustaining consciousness
unable to rest just yet, so much to do

reactions slowed to a malaise
muscles, unsmooth and unfree
mind, fogged and unfocused

forgetting to eat, forgetting I've already ate
can't rest just yet
my work is not yet done



I'm going to have some sleep tonight, so you'll be spared any more poems about not sleeping. My insomnia trilogy will stay as it is.
