I stay awake with my eyes rested

I look for sound I unaddress it

I count my pounds

I softly sigh that im a few short

I measure my height without growth to report

I burn my lungs

And scream without voice

I listen more to the static noise

Waking back up having never slept

My legs don't move

I do it all again

In a pastel sky I see hard lines drawn

In my softest mind

I suffocate myself

My tongue stays numb and I fall asleep

when I wake from it again the soft was all a dream

I draw blood and sorrow from a bank to invest in a future I will never see
