(#33) Fatigue

A muffled boom, you hear it
In the corner of your spaced mind-
Everything remains spun in a blur,
You feel like a soldier, jolted awake
By the explosion of an artillery shell
That hit the far left corner of your bed.

There was no alarm bell, no,
Where were you? Can you remember anything?
The clouds remain condensed in your mind,
A daze, emotionless, the sky just dark and silent.
You're up early, surprisingly, just way too e...

Snap, hello?
A stir in your cold brain
Creates a whir in your senses.
You cannot feel your body,
You feel rather detached, don't you think
Everything seems so foreign?
What's that you say? I cannot seem
To process anything. My mind has turned to ice.

The mattress, suddenly
Does not want to play host to you.
You feel uncomfortable, yet you feel so heavy-
To move your sack of flesh, too lethargic.
Fight back, kick about under the covers,
Let every memory in your head swirl up the vortex
As you struggle to fall back into sleep.
Your body aches, your heart
Feels so frustrated-
Exhaustion, leave me alone! But
Why won't my body let me have more slee--

--Brrrrrrrrrrriiiiiingg.
