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?








I feel your fatigue in every word.Here is a virtual hug 🫂 which we all need.
10/10 for this write.
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.

Not just you. I am laying here reading this at 4 in the morning. Maybe that’s why I love this write. Well done.
