I haven’t slept since two days

Ago.

My mind is muddled with fear and colorful pictures of the

Unknown.

Oh no,

The world is blurred along the edges.

Did you know?

Raindrops on windshields are elegant?

Circles of distorted light and gifts given freely from

Heaven.

Instead then,

I wish I could taste them but my brain revolts and becomes

Lead.

——

Oh please let me fall to the ground and

Sleep soundly

For once.
