Narcositis

My eyes are heavy; my head is numb.
I'm tired.

I just want to sleep; I just want to dream.
I'm tired.

I try to stay awake; I try to be present.
Why am I still tired?

My body betrays me; it's not long,
Slumber at work.

My friends don’t get it; people don't get it.
Slumber mid conversation.

What better way.
To pursue a dream.
