So Dog Gone Tired Today...

Like a fly without his/her buzz

even popping a guarana (caffeine) does

not shake the feeling

like brain covered with fuzz

 

no matter how hard I try eyelids claps

shut nor how many hours of sleep elapse

offers nary reprieve folds

welded tightly shut

feel like they weigh

much as a ton mud covered flaps,

thus thought to summon

meager energy reserves perhaps

generating poetic lines

interrupted by taking constant naps

but no matter eyelids

weigh heavy as a ton steel traps

 

narcolepsy not ruled out since

tired body struggles as if grasping for air,

yet such fatigued state uncommon for me,

though bothersome to grin and bear

this bout of sleepiness, where this

white knight chess sleeps

trouble free aye declare

quality deep rapid eye

movement marked noticed

since medication taken

to treat debilitating anxiety e'er

concomitant panic attacks, where psyche

got rent asunder send

ding this atheist to hell

episodes pained me

forked flaming tongues flare

ling, immobilizing, paralyzing

and stinging entire body,

hence methinks primary cerebral gear

and cog glommed

like a drain clogged with hair

 

nonetheless, no alarmist worry,

nor "worst case scenarios" betray

my ordinarily mellow emotional state,

thus any task I must delay

thoughts unstoppably captivated

by snoozing upon

a bed of freshly mown hay,

and then hours later

diminishing fatigue in catchy rye

ming verse aye re: lay

relishing being awake,

the mine true valued self I kin portray.
