Sleep debt
5 minutes to 3 AM
for some reason
the gods of sleep have abandoned me
with debt so big
how could I be free
the clock says 3:03
thoughts overwhelm
dreamland appears elusive
I am losing grip
the body doesn’t forgive
it’s 4:23
yawns are stronger
yet control screams green
my eyes are undecided
a battle I cannot win
5:15, tick tock
mercy on me
need a break from this reverse spell
the night looks bleak
another one to settle
sunshine knocks
engines roaring
signs of defeat
I keep still
