Wasted

Drowsy,
Nights of dodging sleep, finally creeping upon me.

Tired,
Heavy limbs, screaming for longed-for rest.

Drained,
Energy depleted, barely enough left to get through the day.

Bleary-eyed,
Resolutely focused, the blinking monitor sat before me.

Temptation,
Needing to succumb, but slumberland seemed so far away.
