Broken

Broken (Title)

I cannot sleep.

For no more, can I rest.

Half broken, and crushed

by stress.

External forces conspire

hour by hour.

To drive us ever further,

into some unending way.

Sleep deprived, each passing day.

Longing to be more

alive and living.

No longer filled with

regret and misgivings.
