Why am I still up
It's 12:34 and I'm wide awake
I hate sleeping with silence
Background noise is a must
The box fan will do
Much better
I'm still hot. Great.
rolls over, pauses.. kicks sheet off
Why is this bed so hot?!
Okay situate the pillow
Cough a few more times.
Lay on my back
Look up at the glow in the dark
Hanging solar system
Peek behind window curtains,
Look for signs of rain
Nope. Well that's disappointing.
Close my eyes.
This isn't working,
plays sleepy playlist
Close your eyes
Sing the song in your head
That's better..
Maybe ill put away my phone and actually go to bed instead of writing about it
This isn't even a poem #whatispoetryanymore
