Ever Changing Soul

I would hallucinate instead of slumber. 

Because this tiredness is churning in me, more than I remember. 

I am entering a sleepless cycle. 

Each night turns more fickle. 

I tried to wait for the crisis to end. 

Each day I would have to sacrifice a piece of hope so that the world would not upend. 

It is like I am creating new problems that I am unable to control. 

To survive, I must be an ever changing soul.

Angelica this took my mind in so many different directions I didn't know which to follow. I enjoyed reading this as I wait, and hope, for sleep to find me. Well done!
