Post Insomnia

Hey what's up guys. I have been sleep deprived before, and combine that with stress and coffee, and you become pretty spaced out. It's scary, and the little monologue below describes it perfectly.

I feel like the coffee is grinding my brain, extracting another photocopy of reality. Another reality? Have I gone insane? Or is it just caffeinated-craziness?

No, It can't be. It much weirder and much more complicated.

Have I taken drugs and forgot about it?

Does caffeine really dilate your pupils and shoot red streams across your eyes?

I must have been drugged.

A dose of a Matrix-like shot right in the veins. I feel it flowing. It's not pleasant.

Even the people in my house think it's strange.

Is pseudo-reality laughing at me, taunting my existence?

What is this I am in? Another existence, a dimensional plane in my own mind? How strange must I seem from the outside? I need to see a doctor.

"A copy of a copy of a copy"

I really don't want it to go that far...

For those who know what insomnia is like, I think they can relate. Well whatever.

That's hilarious! Maybe you should have gone for a run or something... I don't know about insomnia. It was funny, though.

I know the feeling, and by reading that I know you know it too...I don't think I would have written about it the same way though. None the less I know your pain!

i love the fact that you can have humour at a time like that!all my stories or poems written in a sleep deprived haze are usually depressing or very emotional.
