We need to sleep
Instead we eat
We splurge and gorge
And grow and flow
Exceeding our clothes
Growing our girths
Stuffing our bellies
Numbing our hurts
Eat to Sleep

Re: Eat to Sleep
This is so relatable, Oceantide. I move from thing to thing for that last line… I remember this feeling. And now, as then, when I need to sleep I do things to numb what I can so I’m not alone with it, if that makes sense. Thank you for sharing.

Re: Eat to Sleep
Thank you, Paper, it helps to know you can relate, though it feels sad as well...
