Awake

I am awake.

I need to be awake.

Can’t sleep.

Shouldn’t sleep.

Got things to do,

Places to be.

And this day to stretch.

Head’s heavy.

The world’s spinning.

But I mustn’t fall.

Because I got things to do.

Places to be,

And this day to stretch.

But my head’s heavy.

And the world is spinning.

But how can I not crumble?

How can I not fall?

When all my mind and body want

Is to shut down and dissolve.
