Alert exhaustion--when will it end?
Why can't I sleep? Another nervous night I spend.
Stirred by a distant end that is always near,
My head sinks into the down, my body is warmed with fear.
When will this stale sad song change?
Everyday I dream of expanding my range.
Since the things that are not are as real as those that are,
The difference is lost like a million dollars washed up on a savage shore.
Again I wonder, what am I missing?
My eyes are wide open, my ears are ready to listen.
Will I ever know? Will I ever stop thinking?
How shall I plug the hole and stop this ship from sinking?
I'm turning this in for class, I'm wondering how bad is having "million dollars" in there. I don't know just yet what to change it to even though it's the right thing...it just feels wrong, doesn't it?
