THE ROOM THAT NEVER SLEEPS

Tired

Some nights, even silence is loud.

Tap the clock for a moment of stillness.

Lying there at night For hours on end In the dark It's cold Quiet Too quiet But the noise won't stop. It's deafening. So many voices all at once. Too many thoughts The mind won't stop racing It never does. It's tiring It's a never-ending cycle Trying to sleep, but can't. Saying you will go to sleep But won't. It continues From one day to the next. Until you're that exhausted that you can't help it You can't do anything You won't do anything You just sleep Too tired to eat Too tired to drink Too tired to talk Too tired for anything.

NOCTIS · THE SLEEPLESS ROOM
