it manifested before my bloodshot eyes
I hadn’t slept in days
yet the more I couldn’t sleep
the more energy I seemed to feel
the being rose up
from the edge of my bed
and snickered at me
in a way that I will not soon forget
I rubbed my eyes and realized
that the reason they had been so red
was due to the amount I had been rubbing them lately
I soon recalled that the being at the foot of my bed
had been a nightly visitor I kept on forgetting about
I closed my eyes again in vain
and tried to get some sleep
Until next time, stay safe, and be blessed!
