sleep…

we parted company…for the most part 

a while ago

snatches of nap here and there

but a full night’s sleep?

…very rare

disrupted by dreams and thoughts

as I stare at the ceiling 

and toss

 

maybe it’s only my imagination 

(but I somehow doubt it)

the world feels…

heavier?

more dense?

and little things become so intense…

it’s like walking in boots of lead

pressure so strong…

the slightest nudge crushes

causing a hasty retreat

trying to reclaim equilibrium

 

or maybe that’s just me?

    1. Powerfully penned, Willow. Another excellent write my friend. It’s not just you, the world does feel heavier indeed. I can’t sleep when I want to, but to balance it out though, I also can’t stay awake when I want to either. I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t. Sounds like you know the feeling as well. More fuel for the bonfire. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.
