The longer I stare at the ceiling,
The bigger the cracks seem to be,
Sleep is lost to my mind right now,
Sounds of the outside my company.
Blurred vision and delusions with eyes open,
It's hard to see my way anywhere,
Yet sleep won't come to my bed,
It won't stay with me through the night.
Struggling to complete simple tasks,
At the end laying down for hours,
With nothing happening and my mind racing,
Sleep has become a long gone friend.
Every sound is louder than reality,
My mind twisting and distorting what's happening,
A shadow is something sinister,
And the cracks on the ceiling still grow longer.
It's been days now and no end is sight,
One hour here and one way over there,
Rest if scarce and far inbetween,
My heart and mind constantly racing.
Feeling as if I'm depleted,
Constantly running around in circles,
All the energy is gone,
Soon I will just collapse.
