And sometimes, you find yourself at the center of a laughably painful contradiction.
A miraculous irony.
You are too tired to sleep!
You've sacrificed rest, put off restorative procedures, all as part of a bargain made to no one, just so you may force your way through a seventh day grind.
The grin is over, for now.
Now is rest.
And yet ...
Maybe you didn't know you were making this deal, but here you are awake in bed.
Dreading the possibility of greeting yet another predawn warm up of the natural world.
It begins with birds chirping - it might as well be a bells toll, for the dread such sound now brings to your inner ear.
It becomes painfully obvious to you, the blackened night giving way to a hideously serene blue, that your body has simply forgotten how to rest.
Whether due to lack of practice, or simply because you traded it away, you now dread the day to come ...
