Insomnia. {Poem}

“Insomnia is his mind’s revenge for all the tricky thoughts he has carefully avoided during the daylight hours.” ~ Alain de Botton

~

I’m up,

reliving everything once forgot.

I’m up,

repairing the broke.

I’m up,

losing myself into the thought of death when he is nowhere near.

I’m up,

wondering why to the unknowns of Earth.

I’m up,

feeling heavy eyes unable to feel relief.

I’m up,

hearing unsubtle voices.

I’m up,

trying to quite the mouths of my mind.

I’m up,

right now, writing these words.

I’m up,

wishing this was voluntary.

I’m up,

not wanting to be up.

~
