Sleep Deprived
Yenaros' mix of lyricism, detail, and style is a dangerous poetic force to be reckoned with.
Sleep Deprived
I’ve stayed awake through the
Entire night.
My eyes are feeling droopy and I’m
Having problems with my sight.
Trying to fight the sleep,
I’m trying with all my might.
Enclosing myself in darkness because
The sun is just too bright.
I’m having a skirmish with
My eyelids
It’s a fight.
This headache is killing me and my
Muscles feel tight.
I have the weight of the wind
Blowing against my body.
I feel like a kite.
I want to defy sleep so bad
That I’m not keeping things black and white.
I’m playing with the status of
My health.
It isn’t right.
I need to go to bed because I don’t want
This feeling to bite
Me in the back,
Alright?
It’s the next night.
Good night.
Sleep tight.
The clock just hit 11 pm.
I’m out like a light.
