Seventeen days with no breath at allFor whatever reason my narcolepsy came back with a vengeance this morning and Benjamin bore the brunt of it as I kept completely checking out, my chin hitting my chest and my eyes flying open so many times I lost count before I scowled and fell asleep again. I didn't even ever feel it coming on. Usually I feel so overwhelmingly sleepy but today I just keep waking up.
You fall off a ledge and your world dissolves
And no one listens to the sounds you make
and no one listens to you when you say
Save me from pain
Maybe it's dangerous and foolhardy to give up coffee.
Maybe I'm just dangerous. I just know I've always been this way whether I get nine hours of sleep or three. Same with the black circles under my eyes. They're always there. Genetics fucked me over bad. Bailey is perfect with her curly golden hair and tall willowy figure, perfect black eyelashes but no black circles, flawless hearing and normal alert levels.
I believe I may have been abandoned with her family by leprechauns passing through the village.
No, seriously.
It would explain the wanderlust and the love of potatoes and cake, you know.
And whiskey.
Shhhh.
I mean Zzzzzzz.
