Why Can’t I Sleep Tonight?
I took my antipsychotic.
I got pretty high earlier,
took a whole happy gummy,
so why am I sitting here
feeling my heart torn out
through my ribcage,
feeling my stomach,
my head sinking
into darkness like a weight
sinking into the deepest, darkest sea.
The loneliness hits
like a dead blow hammer
right to the gut
and I drift off to sleep
wondering what to try next.
