I do not stare

My eyes do

Until all the lines and letters

Blur into one hue

Brain does not compute

No, it withdrew.

My head swims

Thoughts in a hurry

Words, phrases, sentences;

Information slurry

Rational shuts down

All is blurry.

I am numb

To the light

It shines without relent

Ever so bright

It's in stark contrast

With the night.
