Losing Sleep
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.

********.
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.

Words
Typing words on images
and posting them for likes that mean nothing
this is the internet
this is the life we live

this day and age
we love to do nothing
and live dreaming of everything
but we sit and wait

for the world to do it for us

— The End —
