I am here but
then again I'm not.
Noiseless humming in my mind
dictates to me I'm not all here
It's only due to
lack of awareness;
nothing more,

nothing

less...

Why must I put myself through
this night after day,
day after night?
I fight yet it
eludes me, why
oh why can I

not

attain...

I don't ask for much
yet this somber thought
keeps running amok through my mind.
It keeps me in check
but lowers my resolve
to try because I know
I will fail

yet

again...

My eyes are heavy with
unquenched need,
I can't go on yet
I can't give in.
Why, oh why
must I suffer,
why, why can't I
feel the embrace
of beautiful

blessed

sleep..?
