Poetry Practice

Practicing poetry today while at work... 

My eyes are not working well today
They go in and out of focus
i close my eyes for a moment until I realize --
No! I cannot fall asleep.
I'm at work. In an office.
Was that phone ringing?
No, it was someone else's.

Why am I so tired?
Why does my body have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning?
Why is so hard to move lately?
I remember the days when I could run freely
Skipping, ok well I never really skipped but I did run freely
Joyously, with fire and passion
From one place to the next.
Setting a blaze behind me as a went, a trail of fiery passion
Burning, scorching, hot, hot heat.
Now I'm just lucky if I get out of bed on time.

What happened? Why am I so tired?
