Wet Towel

Sleepiness is a wet towel,

Heavy eyes and head,

unable to bear the weight,

the water covering the air around,

darkness surrounds the body,

and takes over completely,

leaving nothing behind,

but your thoughts and silence. 

Submerged into the deep sleep,

not by my own will,

but by the heaviness and roughness,

of the wet towel.


The author's comments:

It is how I compare Amy feelings of intense tiredness on a day today basis after dealing with constant deaths in my family along with depression and anxiety.
