12:00 through 08:00

Aya Kadid

12:01

It’s already tomorrow 

I still haven’t gotten out of bed 

Deeply enmeshed in my sorrow 

I don’t think this comes to an end 

Maybe i should sleep 

1:23 

I’ve cried 3 times so far 

Couldn’t breathe through 2 of them 

I feel like I’m at a perpetual war 

With terrible thoughts that I can’t condemn 

I’m unable to sleep

3:32 

I realize that I’m far from okay 

My heart is weakened and my mind is a mess 

I feel my soul drifting away 

Into a deeper and darker distress  

What even is sleep 

5:47

The birds have woken up 

The sun hasn’t appeared above the horizon yet 

I wipe my tears and i look up 

I’m still pretty upset 

I dont think I’m getting any sleep

7:51 

My family is awake 

So is the sun and I 

The day hasn’t started and I already need a break 

All my eyes did since yesterday was cry 

I hope to soon be asleep
