Lack of sleep

I have a secret
Incredibly dreadful actually
I abuse myself.

Not in the cutting wrists
Or starving myself
Not even over eating way,
Though I do enjoy a good sweet.

Mentally however...
It's a mess.

Upstairs is a wild party
Every day and night
There's no stopping this train
The thoughts come in all directions
Impulses at every side
Boxing me in
Until I turn myself inside out
Pat myself down
And throw myself in jail
With the key
out of reach.
