It’s nights like these when I find myself still tired after almost 10 hours of sleep. It’s the last day of work and I could feel the exhaustion on every muscle of my body. My hair untidy and damp, my lips chapped, my skin so dry it’s peeling off and there’s still a little bit of eyeliner left from last night. Every minute I check to see what time it is as I try to find the excitement I once had for the weekend. Sugar Ray’s When It’s Over plays on the hold queue while my intestines digest the cereal I had from 40 minutes ago.
It’s nights like these when I just want to lay down on my bed and stare at the ceiling until I fall back to sleep. I find an eyelash on my cheek and I don’t think I’ll be making a wish this time.
