Sleep.
Eluded me again.
Can't turn it off.
Keep trying.
But it's close
I feel it creeping up behind me
Eventually my eyes close.
But that is just a background,
Discordant images flashing there.
Sleep, It's close
I think it may tag me
and scream "you're it!"
and then run and hide from me again.
Soon though – it has to be soon.
When my breaths come at a steady pace.
Before my sanity fractures.
The mind just needs to cooperate.
