They Dance
3 days and 3 nights,
Awake the whole time.
Day one was the high
Drawing and creating endlessly
Through the dark into the light.
It carried me through the war
Of the demons I was too tired to fight.
Day two was the move
Without allotting time to eat
I had all the time to do as I pleased.
Something was amiss that day
The high wasn’t as strong as I liked.
Still, I pushed through another morning into night.
Day three.
The morning rose and the high wore off.
I was finally hungry
And tired
And lost.
I got some food and sat to eat,
That’s when either I noticed them
Or they noticed me.
In the dark TV
I saw me
And also them.
They hopped around the couch dancing.
I knew then
I had lost my sanity.
3 days and 3 nights,
It was time I finally closed my eyes.
