Working Again

I forgot to put up my poem yesterday, but I have a good reason!  My lovely boyfriend turned 22 yesterday, so I was celebrating with him. :3  Okay, here's the poem.  Enjoy. <3

Insomnia, brought on willfully.
A give-and-take; an exchange
A minute of health for a minute of gold.
Sleepless and self-deprived,
I find that my mind rests somewhere else;
     My body trudges on, heavily.
Eyes downcast and searching
for lightless repose:

Surely, 5 a.m. is too early to be awake.
