subject: HELL

[iamdani]

why is it
that despite the exhaustion
that's taken over my body,
when i finally get in my bed
to sleep it all away,
i can't get comfortable,
or i can't get this or that off my mind
long enough to let my dreams take control?

so i just lay there
for hours on end
in the dark,
in the silence,
in my empty bed,
repositioning every half minute

my eyes are closed
but i can't let go,
and i start thinking
about the strangest things

and it's at these times
that i know myself the most
