Exhaustion

8 1 1
                                    

I'm so tired,
But my stupid brain
Won't shut up
And let me sleep!
**
I'm almost out of coffee,
And it's barely 3 am.
I still have to go to school
At 6 o'clock in the morning.
**
I'm so exhausted,
I haven't slept in days,
Worry eating at my mind,
Refusing to let me sleep.
**
I'm dying,
And no one seems to notice.
The rings beneath my eyes
Are too dark to be healthy.
**
I stumble around like a zombie,
Just trying to keep moving.
One foot in front of the other,
Baby steps.
**
Walking seemed so simple,
But now it is impossible,
Like pushing an entire mountain
Across the planet.
**
Takes so much energy,
None left for talking.
People don't notice or ask why
I'm so silent.
**
I look at the sky,
To trying to trick my mind into sleep,
But it senses my plan
And kicks into overdrive.
**
This is going to be a long day...
