Fatigue, you're a drug to me

Hello fatigue,

I'm writing to you because I appreciate you. I appreciate the world you make me float in. I appreciate this feeling when my eyes are half open. I appreciate this innocent distraction you take me to when I can't go anywhere else. I appreciate the key to heaven you give to me. I appreciate the distance you give me when I'm supposed to be close. I appreciate this overwhelming sensibility you provide me. I appreciate the spirit you embody and the one you make me adopt.


Hello fatigue,

I'm writing to you because I wonder what's going on with you. I wonder why you try so hard to always be here with me. I wonder why no matter how much I sleep, you're still there with me. I wonder why your only enemy appears to be coffee. I wonder why you enjoy seeing me so far away from the others, from the real life. I wonder why you draw those strange blue strokes right under my eyes. I wonder why you give me so many difficulties everytime I need to get out of bed. I wonder why you took me out of the world I used to love.


Hello fatigue,

I'm writing to you because I fear you. I fear the puppet you turned me into. I fear having to face you, to obey to you, to bend over your knees. I fear my far-away gone friendships, my disappointed family, my darkening future or my disappearing life. I fear seeing the dark side of the moon when there's the brightest sunshine possible. I fear overthinking about what I should not. I fear the violence of the reactions you impose, the cruelty of the answers you made the only chocie to me. I fear those eyes, that can't open anymore to explore the widest potential of life. I fear those blue strokes that start to detain over my whole body. I fear the gloom you make ubiquitous all around me.


Hello fatigue,

I'm writing to you to say goodbye. I'm off to a good night of sleep, so see you next time, and hopefully as late as possible. Sleep, take me back to Morphee's arms, I am ready to go and discover a thousand and one wonderful worlds

Lots of love,

That's very deep. And also strangely inspiring.

Seriously though, if you have a problem with constant fatigue, you should see a doctor.

Honestly I'm kinda concerned how you appreciate fatigue and yet you're relating it to drugs...
