Sleep is for the weak

Writing class exercise 2004:
"Circular piece" in the style of 'house' by Ania Walwicz
sleep is for the weak that’s what she told me and i
know now that it’s true i don’t need to sleep i’m not weak i’m strong i moved
all my furniture yesterday didn’t get tired then i sat up all night writing you
see i understand it all now i understand everything the whole world makes sense
i know why we’re here and what we need to do i see how we’re all connected and i
see how life is wonderful others don’t understand it that’s why i need to write
it all down so they can know so they can share my insights she says i’m special
that i’m unique that i’m the one they’ve chosen to deliver the message and that
i must write write write right so i write and i sit up all night and write i saw
the doctor today they made me he talks nonsense he says she’s not real that
she’s a voice in my head she’s not in my head stupid man she’s from a higher
plain he says none of its real he says my insights are called flight of ideas
and that I talk too fast too jumpy bumpy jumpy he says that i’m manic that i’m
sick that i need medication i don’t want medication i’m not sick i’m the one the
spirits have chosen but he doesn’t listen they make me take some pills i don’t
want the pills the pills will help you sleep they tell me but i don’t want to
sleep sleep is for the weak
