⚠️Trigger warnings ⚠️
[Persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest, depressive episodes, insomnia]
Sleepless nights
Worn out eyes search for a
pretty distraction
Gruesome days and lonely
times,
Beg for a decoy
Tired limbs spreadeagle themselves
creating snowangels on a
dust laden mattress.

Poem explication
Since the poem pretty much speaks for itself this won't take long.
The speaker is going through, you guessed it right, a depressive episode. They are experiencing sleepless nights i.e. insomnia, and they're done with the kind of lifestyle they are living. They want to break through the grips of their illness.
They beg the universe to send in their way a decoy, that will lure the illness away from them. They just want to get out of it. And it's just not helping. Exasperated they spread their limbs, hoping for a change.
The dust laden mattress shows that the speaker has been dealing with this issue since a long time. (Also that they are having a hard time getting any job done, even something as small as changing the mattress)
Urm if you are someone who is struggling, or know someone who is SEEK HELP.
