Splayed carelessly on the couch
Bones feel sore, painful, weary
Eyes unfocused, vision blurry
Widening yawns, hard to suppress
Benumbed mind, words hard to express
Fighting sleep in feeble attempts
To make exhausted nerves relent
And play along for hours, few more
Until sleep finally shuts mind’s door
This is how my evenings unfold
With fatigue keeping on me a strong hold.
