Drunken Thoughts With A 4:00 a.m. Twitch
I lie awake trying to gather my thoughts.
But all they do is spill away.
I close my eyes but they are pried open.
I sit still but continue to fall,
Falling towards the floor,
Falling face first.
I stagger down the hall,
But stay in my chair.
I move but don't.
I think but don't.
All I can do is twitch.
My mind circles as it heads for the light.
I cry for help but no one wants to hear me.
All I can do is twitch.
