My Tired Eyes & Soul Are Real

somewhere
[between] 
my 
self-medicating

lack 
of 
sleep,
you 
think
i
would
find
some
sort
of
peace.

no!
there
is
no 
such
thing
as
peace.

only
the
chaos
i
continually
put
myself 
through.

i
hate
myself
for
my
ignorance.

i'll
eventually
forgive
myself
when
the
dust
of 
my
life
finally
settles.

only
then
can

give
myself
a
break.

until
then
i'll
just
numb
myself
the
way

see
fit.


feel
the
back 
of
my
neck
starting
to
tense
and
my
body 
turning
to
putty

finally,
maybe

can
rest
my
eyes
until
i
have
to
fake
another
smile.
