20 hours
who needs sleep
who needs food
or people to talk to
I have been wide awake for 20 hours
my eyes are heavy
but it feels like they'll explode if I close them
My head is so dizzy
I'm waiting for the sun to rise
maybe it will make me sleep
There was always something about sunsets that made me dreamy and tired
my wrist hurts like a *****
my muscles scream form days ago
my bruises are not fading
The cold air from my opened window soothes them
my roof is rough beneath my feet and the sky is dark and empty of stars
the moon has passed and the sun is coming
only an hour or so left.
I want to be him here even if he were asleep
I'm such a ******* baby and can't stop complaining
the sky brings me so much peace but makes me unsettled at the same time.
Maybe I just can't sleep because the moon is full
it always makes people a bit on edge.
