Poem type thing I just wrote. Opinions wanted.
Instead of sleep, I lie awake
My brain switched on, For its own sake
To think, To live, I stop, I die
To eat, To breathe, I choke, I sigh

Perceptions our downfall, Routine our friend
Our mind a racetrack, With no forseable end
Chasing the horizon, Gathering as I go
Riddled with feelings, below the circling crow

Fighting fire with kindle, Ceasing floods with a lake
And so each night, I lie awake.
