Wide eyes
Stars in the sky
Dancing about
No sandman about
Listening to chirps
The day begins
Tried it all
Body aches
Senses heightened
Shaking head
So much noise
No escape
Air caresses
Turn burning agony
Can’t shut it out
Too much
Make it stop
Spinning
Spinning
Spinning
Eyes racing
Here n there
Softest plush
Turned prickly bush
Tummy twisting
Food unappealing
Tears burning
A cost to a gift
Steep indeed
A storm brews
Walls crack
Memories creep
Haunting deep
Living on repeat
Feeding each other
Till it blazes
Scorching the sky
Aching for peace
Soon too much
Falling deep
No dreams
Mind asleep
Too much
Yet no sleep
Just the switch
That shuts it off
A reboot
To begin again
