Numbed Nights

Written by: Abeeda

We just don’t sleep anymore,

our minds just cannot fully switch off.

There’s always something there,

in the quiet of our minds,

forcing us to stay connected; 

and not let our thoughts close off.

Our nights are spent clicking from one message to the next;

nothing productive,

But it keeps us from dealing with the reality that lies before us.

So we choose to pass the night in a state of nothingness,

letting sleep pass us by,

and the days spent in tired regret.
