Losing Sleep

by @xcombatchuck777x

It's morning, and I'm mourning, the sleep I lost the night before. I watch the light, as it alights, upon my bedroom floor. Never do I care, to take care, of myself anymore. I always alter, what I place on my altar, and I sleep less, forevermore. Dammit.

Notes

This poem is about insomnia, my inability to sleep, and the reason for that being the fact that I place so many things in higher regards than my own health, my own sleep, and my ability to function as an adult.

I cheated on the third stanza, by using the same word twice, rather than find a homonym or something similar. Meh, it worked.
