Analysis of Pacing my head
A mind keeps racing
around the clock
Tic laughs hysterically
watching me chase toc
It’s time for rest
but thoughts won't stop
Head tells self go take a nap
stat to finish defiantly stubborn
Dusk promise west setting
moon will twinkle above glowing
Dawn swears east rising
sunrays all radiate beyond shining
Can’t help that failure
actually fears success
Numbness relieving stress
unable to relax comfortably
Send an insist sincerely
lay down or pay dearly
More than likely he's right
probably best to take his advice
Body's weak physique grows old
craving attention ignoring affection
Never hurry any decision
listen first understand completely
Ask immediately answer own question
is my poem insight useful or worthless
A point is having a good reason
why even try staying awake writing
Believing guilt far past betrayal
world wispers nate hears just give up
Eyes regardless will not close
persistently prefer remaining wide open
Sweat filled pillow dripping
oddly cold when wet while saturated
Energy overwhelmed extreme exhaustion
eradicating normal logical thinking
Life's been overtaken consumed by doubt
depression provoking nonstop narcolepsy
Absolutely lost precipitously irritated
slightly becoming impatiently aggravated
Obviously confused oblivious feeling crazy
induces lucid delusional sleep deprivation
Deprive mind taught sanity's overrated
lunacy's final destination full blown insomnia
