I toss and turn
I can't get to sleep
The only sound I hear
Is my iPad going beep
I pick it up to find someone liked my Opuss
Then I slam it back down
My eyes were watering from the lack of sleep
All I can do is frown
The world gets smaller
Whirring voices in my head
You can hear the ache
When it creaks upon my bed
The tiniest noise
Awakens me from my attempts
Until everyone is asleep
Bar me, of course, unkempt
It's like insomnia but worse
My eyes are stinging
The world is spinning
But I still have time to reverse
SLEEP • Opuss № I
