Your life contains:
24 hours in a day
7 days in a week
4 weeks in a month
12 months in a year
I could go on, but I'd get bored...
My life contains:
"1"
One hour
One day
One time
I could go on, but I'd never finish...
When your day ends and you climb into bed...
My day has been going on for three of yours.
When night falls, and you lay down to rest...
My sun sits high at its zenith, never to set.
To live your life the way I live mine would grant you more time in a single "day" than you would know what to do with in one month.
This being said, it's safe to assume that I'm referring to a disease I have known as insomnia
I am on medication for it, and when taken...the pills work like a dream. (no pun intended)
But while me body receives its rest, and my muscles are allowed to remain...my brain is slowly frying.
I can't remember anything.
Ask me how many times I was been hospitalized during my senior year of high school.
A few months ago, I could give you an exact number and even tell you the order...and the dates I was in inpatient and/or outpatient.
Ask me today, and I'll have no answer other than "too many times"
Not for lack of wanting to tell you, but because I haven't the foggiest idea anymore.
ANYMORE!
That's what gets me. The fact that I'm being treated for my illness, yet the damage it has done to me already cannot ever be reversed.
Your life has:
Days, nights...time passes in an orderly fashion for you.
My life has:
Events...in a world without days or dates, one can only measure in minutes or hours.
The medical definition of Insomnia is that you have an inability to sleep and that it can cause physical and mental complications.
My definition of Insomnia is: A state of living in perpetual twilight where memories are simply dreams that actually happened...though no less vague and confusing in how fuzzy they'll always be.
