I dare not sleep
For
morning comes too swiftly
Dusk
greets dawn when I am not looking
Time
begins to move far too briskly
During
my slumber they conspire
Thinking
I am unaware
But
I heard them
I
swear it. I heard them
Their
treachery was loud and clear.
I
dare not sleep
Delaying
the scheme to come
Forced
to relive yesterday disguised as today
So
overt it’s covert
But
tomorrow is not fooling anyone
They’re
surprisingly cunning
The
best at their game
But
something seems off
Yet
everything is the same.
I dare
not sleep
But
the man in white says I should
I
suspect he is in cahoots with the others
But
the pills he gave me tasted so good
Now
my energy seems an enemy
Why
did I just yawn?
Maybe
I could close my eyes
For
a minute. Just a min…
Oh
my goodness what have I done!
