Sloth

It pulls from the back of my eyes, heavy
lulling my brain not to think, numbing
laying down my head
circuits shut down
depressed

Best way to describe it, I think
The way it pulls me to sleep
Losing time and mind,
The longer I lay
worse by day

Truly, a demonic curse
The self destroying sin,

Sloth
