ballad of the insomniac

Sigh
Twitch
Ich
Yawn
Breathe in
Breathe out
There is silence
Hush of the fan
Footsteps in the mind
“Not all who wonder are lost”
Not all who dream are asleep
Poems yet to be written
Composed in a sleep deprived mind
-Hush-
Silence and nothing
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe i-
Forgot to do that
Must finish it tomorrow
Problems of the world
Must be solved in a Night
Why didn’t I think of that earlier?
One, Two Three, Four, Five, six, seven, eight, ni-
ich
Twitch
What number was I on again?
Things left undone
World unraveling as I lie here
No
Focus on nothing
on breathing
Sigh
<And Repeat>
