can't sleep

Lack of sleep

catches up with me.

Eyes are blurred

hard to see.

Still feeling the effects

from the night before

neck stiff as a board.

I feel the chemicals

still running through my brain

can't do much, it eases the pain.

my hands tingle,

lips turn blue

somebody help me

this wasn't meant for me to do.

catch my breath, eyes clear

feelings build up the fear.

something came,

picked me up off the floor

all I heard was a whisper

and a closing of the door.

"you have things in this world to do,

so I give you back your life,

My gift to you."
