Not really.
A whirlwind of events in an ever changing
backdrop of voices....
Garbled, yet clear.
With conversations I have no place in even
with the "two-minute rule".....
Colorful visions of a constant playback of
misunderstood events ....
Over and over...
The same and different.
Choosing another door each time....
I walk,
I fly,
I run,
I float there but not truly.
Awake....... but not at all.
Always at a loss for words.
Always lost.....
Never found.....
And sleep does not come. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 195 [topic] => 13 [informant] => jaeann [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

My doggie, "Chipper Jones"got hit by a car and died about a month ago and I started working overnight soon thereafter - anyway - Do you know I have probably slept a total of two hours a night cince July 5th and some nights not even that! I guess I'm trying to say I feel ya!
I couldn't sleep at first because my doggy slept on my feet and kept them warm.
RIP
CHIPPER JONES - THE BEST DOGGIE EVER

This sounds like something I wrote a few years back. You created some good confusing images in this.
