Sleep Sickness


I've been waking up beaten
and broken down
coughing up my lungs
with a throbbing crown,
but by midday
I can't recall
what I've been trying
to forget at all,
and then at night
it all comes rushing back
the symptoms come
in a sudden attack.
I can't help but wonder
if this is some healthy flu
or a terminal bug
I can't help but cling on to.
I'm dying for you
to medicate me
or for someone new
to diagnose my insanity.
