Writing Prompt - Dignity of Daily Life

Sleep

“Goodnight, Kiddo,” My mother mumbles; Knowing I will not have any sort of good night. She heads up to her chamber of sleep. The rest of the house has said their sweet dreams to the daylight as well.  I sit. I lay. I curl up. I cry. I wish for a coma. Hours pass and it is now 3 AM. I am restless and I wish to walk the streets. I wish for any sort of interaction with another human being. I sit. I lay. I curl up. I cry. I wish for a coma. 5 AM. My weighted eyelids lock together. My thoughts proceed until I feel myself running away from my anxious mind.

“Time to get up, Sunshine,” She whispers almost timidly.  7AM. I wake up. I sit. I lay. I curl up. I cry. I wish for a coma.
