How can I sleep

How can I sleep

when I have so much

I need to do

 

How can I sleep

when there are so many projects

I have left undone

 

How can I sleep

when she’s depressed

and brimming with anxiety

 

How can I sleep

when I know the country

has elected a moron again

 

How can I sleep

when my neighbors have a bone to pick

wishing for nothing more than to see me gone

 

How can I sleep

when children look at me

like they want to eat me

 

How can I sleep

with this racket that isn’t there

it’s only my tinnitus

 

How can I sleep

when there’s another crisis

for me to endure

 

How can I sleep

when I have yet to write

the great American short story

 

How can I sleep

when the novel I’m writing

has been untouched for years

 

How can I sleep

when I’m shaky

and my mind is racing

 

How can I sleep

when I’ve overdone it

with my caffein consumption

 

How can I sleep

when this rotten anxiety

keeps me awake for another night
