Sleep Is For The Weak

Jan 07

They say that sleep is for the weak,

but for a week I haven’t slept

and I don’t feel very strong.

 

It’s when I need to sleep the most

that all these thoughts flood my brain

as if hidden by the shadows all along.

 

Thoughts I do not want.

Thoughts that haunt my dreams.

at least, I hope they’re dreams.

 

The slightest noise disturbs my thoughts,

an engine; a footstep; a voice

but it’s the thoughts that disturb my sleep.

and they say that sleep is for the weak…
