A Valueless Wall

The time was 10:35
On the clock,
I cannot sleep,
I cannot walk

I just lay here
Writing this piece,
Not living,
But silently existing

I am confused about
My reality,
Why can’t I sleep?
Running in my own 
Consciousness, trying
To climb a mountain 
That is steep.

Even if I can’t, why should I? 
Can’t I answer the questions?
 Can I only ask why?

Do I even help anyone?
At all?
Or what I might have achieved is just a 
Valueless wall.
