Effects of a Sleepless Night

Effects of a Sleepless Night

Sleep escapes me once again

So my body retaliates
By shutting down
My eyes grow heavy
As my head bobs
To walk feels like drifting
I go neither straight nor crooked
A zombie is what I am
Lifeless looking for life
Dozing off trying to
Recharge the battery
Using all my strength
To stay awake
Only makes me more tired
This cycle goes on forever
Like a living Nightmare
With open eyes time moves slow
As soon as they close however
Time moves faster than a
Blink. If I could
I’d sleep like
A Bear in the Ground
Away from distraction
Knowing however that can’t
Be done I must instead
Continue on this life
A mindless drone
