Sunset Sunrise

<
The sun closes her eyes, and I must close mine, this time, but my breaking blood-brain barrier bids otherwise. Another long night bodes foreboding in this light. Forbidden thoughts seep deep from blood to brain. I must fight, again, another tormenting night. Earth's most frightening repetitive cycle plays on repeat as I try to cycle through my backups to no avail, leaving no choice. Swallowed by every detail of distress, I wait. I await the end of another night laced with fear - packed with pills meant to sedate me, but never did, I waste away, waiting for the sun to open her eyes once again
