Restless

Sounds of crashing waves hitting my pillow. Dead of night lying awake, if you listen closely you can hear others doing the same. My feet are freezing, my mind is spinning. Surrounded by 4 walls with a lid, moon light appearing in. Tossing and turning, eyes are sore from clenching them tightly. The waves. The waves—it’s just my breathing, pressed against the pillow. That’s all you hear. Reminds me that I’m still alive to live another unfulfilled day. Every mistake or spoken word, replayed over and over. It won’t stop…it never stops. Day n night, night n day, 24/7, 365 days. It’s never ending. Focus on the waves, the voice will fade. 8hrs of peace until the next day.
