Midnights

Midnights still wear me down.

Stomach unsettled. 

Mind fuzzy.

Eyes tired.

A steady hum

Reverberates

And I struggle

Listening

To others talk. 

Forced to be surrounded

By monitors

Shuffling

Trying to find

A comfortable

Position. 

My body aches

From lack of motion.

In my stomach

Is a commotion

My shit schedule

Is

Out of wack.

Been working shift work

Over 10 years

And I still

Can't find a rhythm.
