I stay up til 3am. I scroll, tweet, reblog, upload. I keep my mind busy until it's too tired to argue with itself. I wake up at 12pm. Unrested, regretful, dissatisfied. I've wasted my day, swapped a sunrise for a dimmed screen, breakfast for lunch, sleep for rest. My days blur, with nothing to occupy my time, I watch 5 seasons in a day, reach my post limit, exhaust conversations. Doing nothing had become my job. And it consumes me.

I can't sleep
I stay up til 3am. I scroll, tweet, reblog, upload. I keep my mind busy until it's too tired to argue with itself. I wake up at 12pm. Unrested, regretful, dissatisfied. I've wasted my day, swapped a sunrise for a dimmed screen, breakfast for lunch, sleep for rest. My days blur, with nothing to occupy my time, I watch 5 seasons in a day, reach my post limit, exhaust conversations. Doing nothing had become my job. And it consumes me.
