Prednisone

by BrokenGentleman

Do sleepless nights yield heavy thoughts? Or do the synapses firing prohibit silent slumber? Neural highways at traffic jam capacity Rush hour never ends when I retire Electrical signals consistently skip and zip Awake or asleep, thinking or dreaming Mystifying visions of past, present and future Entertain the brain while the body refreshes A blissful recollection of pure jubilation Transitions the mind into sweet meditation My alarm becomes a synaptic disturbance The ears at the receiving end of the siren Alert, alive, living But exhausted from the Prednisone Curse
