Mar 2018
I've been sleep deprived for so long
But when I close my eyes
Not even an ounce of sleep touches me
I've been tired for so long
But when I lay down
My body compels me to get up
And keep searching for a nameless entity
I haven't eaten in days
But when I begin to eat
My hunger disappears
The sight of food repels me
I don't know if I'm breathing
But the movement of my chest
With every inhale and exhale
Evidently shows that I'm surviving
