Negative Space

Off of off.

                  

I can't sleep when the lights are off,

I can't dream unless there's something to dream of

My heart can't rest unless that secret is spoken of

My head will spin until I talk my mouth off

My nails got chipped because I ripped their tips off

My essays aren't done because I turned my brain off

I lie uninspired because there's  to think of

I sleep for hours because there's nothing to live off

Of.
