Tablet
9:30 Beep
A reminder rings
Its time to induce sleep yet again
I get a cold glass of water and slowly swallow the little blue tablet.
I walk to my bed with aching bones and tired eyes.
I slowly pull back the blankets almost falling over from sheer exhaustion
I am young but frail and tired.
I lay down
my head hits the pillow
They feel like liquid bricks surrounding my skull
I try to sleep but I am unsuccessful yet again
Oh ,well
Its just another sleepless night.
