Sleep Etc. Poem by Brittany Quail

sleep is thick and heavy
it's the best thing God invented
it soothes
restores
but it robs me of those precious moments
when i could be writing
awake and concious
i could be writing
about how it feels to sleep
about how it feels
to have words coursing through your body
to feel the flow
to hear the rhythm of those keys
the lack of rhyme
because you don't like the mechanical
da dum da dum da dum da dum
feel of it
the motion of every syllable
pouring out of your fingers
that one mood that strikes you
the one mood that makes you do all this
over and over
writing and writing
for the pure REALEASE
THRILL
ADVENTURE
THERAPY of it all
when you find yourself
no longer knowing where the words end
and you begin
you don't even know what you're writing anymore
it just flows
so nicely
it flys
so easily
it makes you smile
but you have to sleep
you have to stop
especially when it's two
in the morning
