I lay here

Staring at the ceiling

I roll over and glance at the clock

I realize that I have not slept all night

Now it is time to go

It is actually past my departure time

I going to be late

If I even make it at all

I think back

How has time crept up on me

When I laid down it seemed like forever until I had to leave

Now it doesn't appear that I will make it at all

It seems to be a vicious cycle

I can't sleep when I should

Which leads me to not being able to stay awake when I need to

I may never know a normal sleep pattern

After years of deprivation

Medicated sleep does not suite me

So I exist here in this unregulated sleep state

My writing now fills some time

Still I find myself staring at the ceiling
