Why do I lie awake still.
My mind wandering in places I've kept away from.
Not seemingly able to breathe or take a moment.
My brain still chattering and buzzing.
These thoughts- these feelings,
They consume me.
They affect my daily life routine and now my sleep,
Not being able to keep them at bay
With candy resembling treats- so bitter tasting.
Now with an inability to escape into a state of euphoria or ecstasy-
I am faced with reality.
