As I Lay Here Restless....

Gone is peaceful as the night draws to close while the diminishing light and quiet constrict. This ceiling stares this ceiling villifies this ceiling torments my sleepless eyes Its all compounded...the procrastinated purge spills at anxious pace with attention paid. Neglected trains of thought stagger forth muscling for rank-all finishing first-Im cursed! Harmony loses to chaos as these thoughts I here digest... Awash in all this that we suppress while life distracts dutifully and numbs certain processes until the day digresses. Now I'll struggle to unravel answers and truths to factless questions and malicious lies. Disecting each query like eager fumbling biology class freshmen, hopelessly unable to identify the insides.... I'll lay fitful for now and envy all sleeping souls enjoying dreams and waking tommorow refreshed Im stressed and all my minds displays project onto this empty ceiling. this ceiling taunts this ceiling crucifies this ceiling torments my sleepless eyes

This is a tortured write. What exactly are you seeing on the ceiling? Best wishes, Sara

let me guess high school biology teacher? yes this would keep me up also, i guess it's an age thing, trying to go to sleep because we have to. telling ourselves to go to bed and looking at the unforgiving ceiling "crying stay up with me!!!" yours john

Howdy Steve: Awesome poem. Don't give up on your studies...or you might end up asking..."would you like fries with your order?" Have a great day. p.s. try using a sleep mask, it works for me. peace out.
