Sometimes, I can see them shimmering on the edges My vision blurs not able to be straight on Foreign thoughts and feelings struggle and fight against me Blinking hurts even making the tiredness worse Then a light sparkles then another and another Suddenly there's dancing spots eddying around me I try to connect one to the next spark flitting across my room There's too many I get confused The lights all begin to gather into one beam of light as I awake the next morning

Illusions When Tired
Sometimes, I can see them shimmering on the edges My vision blurs not able to be straight on Foreign thoughts and feelings struggle and fight against me Blinking hurts even making the tiredness worse Then a light sparkles then another and another Suddenly there's dancing spots eddying around me I try to connect one to the next spark flitting across my room There's too many I get confused The lights all begin to gather into one beam of light as I awake the next morning
Written about a phenomenon that happens whenever I try to stay awake at night.
