Sleep is now a luxury
An unkind herky jerky
Add a modicum of stress
And the nights are now a mess
I am grateful I no longer drink
But I’d like to stop the overthink
It intrudes on rest and fantasy
And adds to moral bankruptcy
The strain is now slowly seeping
Into hours not meant for sleeping
The heart is overstimulated
And daily work is suffocated
I no longer can complete
Daily goals or other feats
So sleep seems quite a luxury
For everyone except for me
