Awake again,
Sleep has happened,
But not enough,
Sleep deprivation
Watching the hours
Passing, counting
Waiting for daylight
Hoping, wakefulness
Each day is the same
Functioning, just
Sleepiness not far,
Half way there
Lunch time arrives
The keeper turns
The energy tap opens
Flooding out quickly
Like a balloon
Deflating rapidly
Feet trailing
Drunk with fatigue
Freaked and frustrated
Tired and taut
Washed out, wasted
Just let me sleep
