Bleakness

The drowsiness was overwhelming, and yet, she stayed up. It was the bleak kind of feeling. The I'm just awake for the sake of it? I'm not really doing anything, but I need to stay awake. I try and be awake and I just can't, it's just that dull, zoned out mode... and yet you stay up. 'Cause you don't want that pile of work tomorrow. Or you don't want that fight for sleep. Or it's simply too early. You can't go to bed. You haven't done everything you wanted to do. It'll get done of course, while your minds in overdrive. Just give it time and it'll be done. Tiredness. Bleakness. Unthinking. You'll get there, to that bed, eventually.
