“Rocket Science”
By Ashley O’Hare
Sleeping has become rocket science-
I can’t figure it out.
I’ve run in circles,
chasing sleep deliriously.
In the mornings,
I’m far too boring.
My brain shut down
at a quarter till three.
This caffeine in my veins
is bringing me more pain.
I am not yet ready
to face the world.
My dreams are my solace.
Without them, everything is out of balance.
Without them, I have to suffer through
another day without you.
