Exhaustion fuses the states together.

I feel tired
I’m awake
as parts of me are still fighting for sleep
a tiredness sets in
and I must be awake
and not sleep
and stay awake
and not sleep
as my body craves sleep
I must be awake
clicking keys
I fall asleep
am I awake
am I asleep
exhaustion fuses the states together
and when I’m asleep I’m awake
and when I’m awake I’m asleep
and our realities exhaust us
and our sleep replenishes us
once they fuse together
which part does the mind believe?

Thanks for reading.
