Insomnia
October 11, 2016
Sleep deprived
Not gonna lie
The task, to write three poems for Boyd
Staring at this screen, got a pain in my eye
Only got two working brain cells, I’m starting to feel annoyed
Won’t stop now, I’m already halfway there
Only a couple more lines to spare
My fingertips are in despair
Working on four hours of sleep, tired beyond repair
But I’m out in 3 hours, so I don’t really care
At this point I’m just pulling words out of the air
That’s the end, read it again if you dare.
