Wide-Eyed Slumber

I know I need to sleep
But I just can't
I need to tire myself incessantly
Just to forget
I am frequently consumed
With thoughts and confusion
I have frequently assumed
And fed this worthless imagination


I am in my wide-eyed slumber
Ironic and ambiguous
Unfair and ridiculous

I am in my wide-eyed slumber
Lethargic but alive
Melancholic and resigned

I am in my wide-eyed slumber
