Battle



Can't sleep.
Is it really a slump?
Have I really hit a slump ?
I slump heavily on the sofa.
But still can't find the slumber.

One o'clock at night,
I watch the sky.
Stars twinkling.
The light pollution hasn't yet hit the town.
How lucky they are to witness this aesthetic.
But I just want to snore.

Will I ever make them proud?
Take care of them in their sunset days?
They toiled.
Have I soiled their hardwork ?
The Stars are no longer bright.
Their  Star
