Darkroom

I Wouldn't Call It Insomnia At This Point

While everybody sleeps
I am awake,
restless.
I take substances
instead of steps
to get somewhere else,
higher.
While everybody has powered down
my brain sculpts
scenarios and dreams
that will never be.
I should slow down and stop.
I should enjoy being alive
like everyone says.
I can sleep when I'm dead, right?
