No matter how exhausted I get, sleeping has been difficult for me lately. My December cold seems to have transformed into a sinus infection replete with congestion and headaches. In addition, my stomach grumbles with intermittant agitation. Food is losing its allure, evenso I eat because I know I must.
Stressful emotions are growing at my core and causing chilling dreams filled with beautiful blue faces. I look at these faces and try deperately to center myself in the white noise of the heater. I want to release what ails me and watch those facades light up with happiness. They are there waiting for me when I close my eyes. They wait for me to speak, whilst they remain speechless. I want them to offer me some advice. I need them to break the silence and soothe my aching body. They don't. They just stare at me looking confused, bored and wantonly.
My alarm goes off. It speaks in vibrations. It tells me to wake up and fill my day with something to be proud of. I stare at it rattling and lighting up. I look at it closely and my face lights up blue.
