I Can'T Sleep

I can’t sleep. 
A poem by him. 

The days go by like the wind. 
Though the wind never passes. 
Wind is a cycle, one that can only be broken by our insolence. 
I can’t sleep. 
Not when the evil of I looks back to me in the mirror. 
Why can’t I see a person? 
I can only see roaches and rats feasting on this dying planet. 
Not even I can see the man in the mirror. 
I can only see a raging fire.
