Very Late

Quiet eyes sting with sleep,

But deep dreams are not what I seek-

At least not tonight, quite honestly.

I crave to stay so very awake

Be one hundred percent entertained

At all times, no rest for me today...

The thought of the sheer boredom

That accompanies your tight shut eyes,

Would crush and shake my insides.

The constant need for stimulation,

From board games, t.v. , and radio stations.

Holds on to the evil of keeping me plugged in

Turned on, started up, and mostly

just stressed.
