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.
