the lack of sleep covers my perception. i can feel by bones creak and my muscles sigh as I take each step. it’s as if the worlds air were replaced with syrup, and I have to walk through it. people pass by in a blur as i focus on the path i take to my next class. i know i have somewhere to be, something to do. later. but right now? right now I have to move my body through a tired, sleep day.
