I hate the sound of nothing

Because nothingness does not equal silence

Silence

Suggests a lack of something

And the voices in my head draw to the nothingness

That comes at 2 in the morning

After a night of barely productive

After a night of self served punishment

Because I do not deserve sleep

Since my to do list is neverending

And I've barely made a dent

Sleep is a reward

For those who are caught up

In life

Have everything organized

Sleep isn't a right

Or a necessity

I need

To do something

I want to sleep

But I must stay still

Sitting awake

In this nothingness

That I wish would just be silent
