I suffer from
I suffer from
Insomnia, a
condition where my heart
runs wild like a naked man
raised by wolves, my brain
ravaged by the sweet nectar
of the Bolivian marching powder,
my liver rot, soaked by the hard
liquors poured shot after shot,
like a montage of that lonely
guy sitting in the bar who just
got dumped by his lover, the
acid of lemons in my eyes, so
sour, yet I cannot seem to close
them as they glow red with hot
lava rocks, my body numb
but ecstatic, sparking with the
itchiness of a thousand crawling
ants but nothing’s there, yet I
still lie like a coffin in the dirt with
nowhere to go even though it pleads
to escape the haunting bugs that gnaw
through the pulpy decorated
flesh.
I suffer from insomnia.
