My aversion to sleep is ironic. I would love to be sleeping right now. It's just... that constant, unavoidable, uncomfortable consequence. Waking up. Sleep is a painless high, and waking up is a bucket of cold water. Everyday I allow myself to be doused with reality. Wouldn't death just be a high you never have to wake from?

Awake - Part 2
My aversion to sleep is ironic. I would love to be sleeping right now. It's just... that constant, unavoidable, uncomfortable consequence. Waking up. Sleep is a painless high, and waking up is a bucket of cold water. Everyday I allow myself to be doused with reality. Wouldn't death just be a high you never have to wake from?
