# Zzz-less... Author: Jiblits Tags: Poem, Short Story, insomnia, life, slice of life Zzz-less...  Surrounded by silence, crowds seem imagined at best I can't seem to dream when I lay eyes closed at night I simply get lost in thoughts, waking from nothing, or nightmares, leaving with a little rest I can only dream with eyes open, peace only found in the warm daylight It's a bad joke... to know one repeats the same actions every time without fail Free to walk around the world, though each sundown, returning to a mentally changing jail Somehow, it's not surprising, but without pills, I remember nothing...not better...but maybe leaving some room for progress toward those high hopes once worth idolizing... A mess, a success, a train gone too far for progress... Many a thing, for the "eternal tomorrow", I need not yet confess... Eh...   such is life... - - - Thanks for reading - - -                                            - - - Always - - -  Source: https://sofurry.com/s/J1O8Drke
