I stare at my phone screen in my dark room.
Hours have passed and yet still no sleep.
I feel like I'm bolted to my bed.
I lower my phone and turn my head to my window.
In the cracks, there's sunlight.
Not the orange sunlight you usually see, but blue.
It's blue hour.
I hear my mom's door open, she's leaving for work.
At least I'll have the day to myself.
A day where I can fall asleep without anything to deal with.
The isnomia eats me up inside.
