I should go to sleep
I should go to sleep
And I should go to bed
But I feel like my day has been stolen from me
So I must snatch back the night
My eyes itch from late nights and tired days
I push on with stubbornness
I mustn’t lose this time
It wrestles against me
That entity that steals time
But sometimes I wonder
What if time slipped away from me on it's own
What if I was found unworthy of keeping time and this is why it eludes me
My days, I spend searching for it
My nights, I barter to try and have it
It never works,
It’s always gone
And I remain perpetually tired.
