These listless dreams I switch in and out of.
While travelling in a bus.
While reading a boring book.
While watching afternoon television.
This sleep tires me out the most.
It's like sprinting through the outer orbs of my sub-consciousness without being able to venture deeper into the calm, soft parts.
I wake up momentarily every time my forehead hits the bars of the bus window, then I fall right back into the trance.
It makes me see the things I worry about come true.
It makes me dread closing my eyes but I can't help myself.
I cannot stay awake cause I'm tired.
Tired of these listless dreams.
