Sleep Disorder
my sleep disorder….
the one where i fit and shake
the one that happens
when i am really tired
as my brain trips over itself
it’s then,
that i find myself falling at hight speed
accompanied by the sound –
of my racing heartbeat
the one where dead people
have been known to hitch a ride
well, that is what they say…
my sleep disorder…
the one where i have moved from my body
to the other side of my bedroom
it’s the one i told you in trust
even then it became a symptom –
of something else
when it comes to being me with you
it’s true, i will never be myself
James Garratt – February 2006
