INSOMNIAC

Perhaps 
you're an addict;
this is just your fate.

Or perhaps there's no end 
to the cast-
off names,

to the lists of the wants 
and the fears 
you transcend.

Perhaps suffering 
is just the daily 
allowance you make—

and maybe 
the best way 
to finally get some rest 

is to merge 
with the problem—
forget 

about your strengths;
become one 
with 

the exhaustion 
which is 
keeping you awake.
