insomnia isn't staying up late to watch your favorite tv show until 3 am
insomnia is the headache at 4 am,
when you give up trying to fall asleep
it's the 5 am deadweight feeling when you realize that you have to go to school in a few hours
it's the 6 am burning pain in your right eye that feels like it's swollen as you hastily scramble to find your glasses in the dark
it's the 7 am red bloodshot eyes
it's the almost 8 am first period messy bed hair, baggy sweatpants, and hoodie days
it's the daily cups of coffee or addiction to energy drinks
insomnia is like a hidden parasite
it isn't fun, nor beautiful
