Insomnia

by Daovan

October 13, 2015

It's 5:56 in the afternoon

I just came home from school

Most of my teachers were really on my ass today

Cause I

"Didn't seem excited about class like I usually am"

Or something like that

I couldn't hear all of what they said

My eyelids were too heavy and each time I bat my eyelashes it sounded of lifting hard cardboard paper up and down real slow

I couldn't really understand them

It's 8:43 pm

I'm watching trashy tv with pajamas on

Eating hot ramen noodles

Avoiding mostly all my texts and calls because well

I barely get any

Anyway

It's

11:17 pm

I'm tired

I'm laying in my bed

My thoughts won't leave me the hell alone

It's

12:00 am

I have a final on Tuesday

Did I study ?

It's

12:45 am

I'm studying

Anything

It's 3:00 am

I got bored and turned back on the tv to stare at something else than a poster of jimi Hendrix until it starts moving

Playing gypsie boy and voodoo child

Shit lurking in the closet

I forgot to turn my mirror around

1-800-dial-a-h** ads are on

I wonder what their parents feel

It's 4:00 am

I still wonder how those girls on t.v have enough life in their eyes to look into the cameras and tell people to call them to have a fun time

Infomercials are stupid

It's 6:00 am

SpongeBob's on

time to go to school

It's 8:40 am

I forgot to do my homework .
