There are 24 hours in a day
1440 minutes
and 86440 seconds but I think
that feelings only become real after 11 O'clock
that your outer shell is shed then and
you're left with
a tiny, weak thing that you call
you.
you force yourself to stay awake to read or write about the pain
or the pain forces you to stay awake and read and write
either works but both
hurt so
much and you can't help but think about your
demons
but since it's late at night they're
no longer in your head but
all around you.
Staying up makes you feel the pain
so really insomnia is just
self harm without the blade.
