Tired

Trying to sleep but cant
Eyes hurt, tears burning the back of my eyes
Body and spirit fatigued
Thoughts running back and forth in an endless seam
Why can't I catch my breath
After the sun set still can't rest
The pressure mounting to cover every text
Pushing me under, straining till there's nothing left
For the drowsiness and dizziness I feel
Still isn't enough to put me to sleep
I still toss and turn, still feel restless
Struggling for an hour of sleep and the night is endless
3am awake and disoriented
Tired, eye bags, Rem cycle distorted
Another day ahead yet already overwhelmed
Like I'm covered In a cloak, surrounded and submerged
The aura emitted from me
Is one of Never ending grief
Cause I can't seem to shake off this bone chilling fatigue
That leaves me bone tired, weary and ready to quit
But deep down I know
How to hide it so it doesn't show
How to mask my fatigue
To smile and feign being energetic
Because the prize ahead of me
Is worth more than a hundred nights sleep
