Trash TV insomniac

I just want to sleep

I want to sleep and eat

An unquenchable thirst to gorge on trash tv

Right now

This is me.

I peer through my eyelids to indulge in the lives of others

Through a screen

A serene scene of people who are supposedly living the dream

And here I am

Me.

A side I don’t dare anyone to see

I try to find a way to silence my mind

I don’t want to think

I just want to drink and sink and fry my brain with a show about the masters of ink

I want to watch rich people on TV having way more than they need and arguing about who is more of a sleaze

Actually

None of this is what I want

Or even what I need

But right now it’s all that in me

I try and remember to breath

Turn off the TV

Go to sleep
