brain enters,
stage left
the plot
running amuck in the crowd.
You can see the
dramatic irony
on their
faces.
It;s clear she
doesn't know her
part, or lines
it is obvious
she is
saying things she
thinks the
crowd
would want to hear.
And though
it is a prose
she does not recognize
she knows that
she has practiced
it
already.

Why sleep?
Why is sleep what you agree on.
Why not something easy,
Something helpful.
Like genders,
Or names,
Or actions,
Or intentions?
Or how events actually occurred?
Or who we have sympathy for?
Or who we empathize with?
Or whether or not we empathize with anyone at all!?
But no.
We're going to agree on the fact
That I'm not going to sleep tonight.
Why?
Because I've had enough stress for the day/week/month/year,
Let's save me from some nightmares
And just not sleep.
But it's a little lonely,
And a little scary,
Being awake with just my thoughts.
At least sleep ends,
And I wake up,
And the world is awake.
Everything is silent
Besides my fingers on the keyboard.
But I am okay.
I am okay.
Bite back down
On the anxiety,
Bite back
Fight back
The fear
The nausea.
Just a little
Sick is all.
Fight back
Bite back,
I'll be fine.
Just the return
Of some insomnia.
