I Hate Narcolepsy

Half alive
Half a lifeAt least that's how it feels
Maybe less
Maybe more
Half if some I steal
A monkey always on my back
Dreams just out of reach
Ideas that I don't realize
Ambitions I don't seek
Dreams stay dreams, ideas stay thoughts
Trapped inside my head
Rest is never restful
A chore inside my bed
Every day a battle
Having to pretend
Sleep a daunting enemy
Sleep a welcome friend
I'm not just tired, I'm more than sleepy
Can you understand?
I'm something that I can't describe
A zombie in demand
Half a life
Half alive
Alert to only some
Mind and body are at war
A victory for none
