Pacing My Head

A mind keeps racing around the clock Tic laughs historically watching me chase toc It’s time for rest but thoughts won't stop Head tells self go take a nap stat to finish defiantly stubborn Dusk promise west setting moon will twinkle above glowing Dawn swears east rising sunrays all radiate beyond shining Can’t help that failure actually fears success Numbness relieving stress unable to relax comfortably Send an insist sincerely lay down or pay dearly More than likely he's right probably best to take his advice Body's weak physique grows old craving attention ignoring affection Never hurry any decision listen first understand completely Ask immediately answer own question is my poem insight useful or worthless A point is having a good reason why even try staying awake writing Believing guilt far past betrayal world wispers nate hears just give up Eyes regardless will not close persistently prefer remaining wide open Sweat filled pillow dripping oddly cold when wet while saturated Energy overwhelmed extreme exhaustion eradicating normal logical thinking Life's been overtaken consumed by doubt depression provoking nonstop narcolepsy Absolutely lost precipitously irritated slightly becoming impatiently aggravated Obviously confused oblivious feeling crazy induces lucid delusional sleep deprivation Deprive mind taught sanity's overrated lunacy's final destination full blown insomnia
