Rest

October 6, 2023

As the darkness embraced my room, the final task of the exhausting day was at hand. Tired eyes staring into the dark abyss; my mind once blank now overflowing with vivid images. Tossing and turning,  blankets became a source of discomfort. The dim light from my screen illuminated the ticking time giving a cruel reminder of the night’s rest slipping through my fingers. With less than a few hours left to sleep, I shut my eyes hoping to drift off and feel rejuvenated by the morning. When day broke, I longed for the sleep that I had missed out on.
