Sleep Deprivation Blues

[indelibleface]

I just wanna sleep,
I just wanna drift away into my pillow,
don't wanna see no more day.

I just wanna sleep,
I just wanna shut myself down,
I've had enough of being spun around.

when I close my eyes,
I feel a candleflame inside,
keeping me half alive.

I clench my fists,
at my lack of fatigue,
I'm at the end of my wits,
this ain't no way to be,
I just wanna sleep.

I understand that feeling so well. I like the repetition in the poem a lot.

 

[Mehm]

it has a good cathartic feel to it. i hope you eventually found slumber

 

[Doppelganger]

I know the feeling. When I used to work in the city, I'd get no more than 3 hours sleep a night and would then work full time. Needless to say, after 6 hard months, I just couldn't do it anymore.

Take a break... your body is begging you for it!

 

[Jabberwocky]

for me i usually take two courses of action. Realize I am not going to get to sleep so i get shit faced drunk. Or become okay with being awake and then i fall asleep cause i am not tripping on it.

I can completely relate to this poem though.
