I haven't slept and I don't want to
I don't know how many hours I'm onto
Of staring at a lifeless screen
Symbols flash; I don't know what they mean.
I'd take a chance and roll the dice
What will I dream of now, tonight?
I'd really rather not find out
I'll dream of fear and crippling doubt.
Inspiration comes from unlikely places
Glazed eyes and expressionless faces
Who knew the things that words could do
When pen meets paper to tell what's true?
I haven't slept but probably should
The world went blurry when I stood
Fatigue weighs heavy on my shoulders
I'll hope my dreams do not get colder.
