Wide Awake

It's a quarter to 4 in the morning and I haven't fallen asleep yet. Time has passed rather quickly since I got into bed at 10, so maybe I have nodded off at times, but I have been tossing and turning basically the whole night. I tried to take cold medicine to make me drowsy, but that didn't work. I blame the mind demons at work. Sometimes my life is too fast, and all I want is for it to slow down, but that seems impossible given my surroundings. Sometimes I wish I could just live by myself in the woods for a day, a week, a month, a year--just to get away. But I guess all I would be doing is avoiding reality. This is a fast-paced world, and I have to run to keep up, however sluggish I feel.

Right now I feel like I'm crawling.
