I drifted into sleep, but it felt like I never left consciousness

Last night, I felt a heaviness of sleep pressing down on me, while a small duty kept me awake — just until midnight. I had to stay up, only for a while.


To fight the silence, I turned on my little iPod.
My eyes were closed, but it never felt like I had actually fallen asleep.

From the corner of my eye, I glanced at the clock on my phone.
1:00 AM passed.
Then 2:00 AM.
My eyes were shut, but my soul was counting every second.

I whispered to my own heart, “I’m tired.”
I just wanted to fall into a deep sleep—
without feeling anything,
without even dreaming.
