11/01/2011 - Excerpt from "Sleepless in Sin City: Depressed, Deprived, But Still Alive - An Experiment In Sleeplessness and Creative Writing"

I am alive I am
alive
Though my mind has gone
away
I’m coming back I’m coming
back
But likely not to
stay

My site is clear my site is
clear
And yet my eyes are
closed
I see you dear I see you
dear
Your love was just a
pose.

I am alive I am
ALIVE
My heart continues
on
And I’ll be strong YES I’ll be
STRONG
Once all the pain has
gone.
