Exhaustion, absolute exhaustion. It's overpowering. I need sleep, my mind and body cannot cope efficiently in this tired state. Waking up at one a.m and needing to do something, anything, to keep my racing mind distracted, it's becoming a problem. I know I will regret it five hours later when I must get up but I do it anyway. But now, at nine a.m, when I need to be awake, I feel my eyelids getting heavy. I have to force them open as this timing is not good. I should be working but, wait, what subject was this? It doesn't really matter. Soon I will not be able to suppress the urge to sink into unconsciousness but for now, I must stay alert and awake just for this ongoing battle to start again at one a.m, leaving me exhausted. Empty. Running off of thin air. Every day, exhausted.
