1 a.m. has somehow become the time I write
I have never been great at sleeping
When I was little I was simply never tired
Now I am exhausted but never able to sleep
If I do rest it feels hollow 
Like I’m partly awake the whole time
And it’s taking a toll on me
I can feel my mind shifting
But these days I’m too tired to care
