I Cannot Sleep, But I Am Always Dreaming

“What time did you go to sleep?” “I didn’t sleep.” “What did you do all night?” “Suffer, as I always do. Suffer in ways I still cannot put into words. The best way to describe it is to tell you that I feel. I feel. I feel too much. I feel that nothing is predictable anymore, and nothing will change, until everything changes. I feel like I see what others don’t. I sense an urgency behind my minds quest to answer the questions around me, while I feel that I already have the answers, I’ve just misplaced them, or they have been hidden from me. I feel as if I am the answer to the questions of others. I feel like god.”
