Tired

Sleep,
Or the lack of,
In a case
Such as this

It creeps on you
Like a running cup of spilt milk
I question
What the hell was I thinking?

It takes over
And laughs at you
While your head bobs
In the not so kind sunlight

I don’t understand
Why the withering branches of sleep
Can’t go entwine their corrupt roots
On someone else

He takes you
Boredom…
Eventually tearing away
Walls of consciousness

Simply taking over your day
And then when you go away
Good dreams either can be your
Best friend or worst enemy

Aaron, sleep is something I love to do very much, but when you have alot on your mind or you're stressed, I understand how hard it is to sleep or have those worried eyes shut. Great poem dude!

You are right about sleeping for sure. It's a good poem.

Wow i can really relate. A lot of the time I feel like I am just trapped and am in a black hole of nothing. I hate times like that. I think you can make a difference in the world just keep moving forward.

I totally know how that feels. Of course, you know all about that, don't you, Aaron. I'm always really tired in the morning.
