It's the same each and every night. I glare at my screen with two big bloodshot eyes. I'm stuck self-torturing. My meds are failing me. My internal clock's in smithereens. I can't fix this. I'm hopeless. My eyes are stapled open wide as I lay down on my side. I am bouncing off these walls.
I notice my hands begin to twitch. An unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit. Me and the TV are enemies. Sickening static surrounds my mind. I'm losing time and realizing that, after days of thought, I'm stuck self-torturing. My meds are failing me. My internal clock's in smithereens. I can't fix this! I'm hopeless!

I guess I'll sleep when I am dead.
I talk to myself and lie in the darkness, so intent. As the sun begins to rise, I can barely shut my eyes. This crazed, delirious mess; laughing at everything I see. My sanity is spent. Just tell me where my time went! I'm losing it!
ATTENTION: all insomniacs! Please raise your right hand, and kindly repeat after me, "I guess I'll sleep when I am dead!"
