Restless

This restlessness

Is driving me crazy,

Not being able to focus,

Relax,

Or be.

It wakes me up

At night,

Preventing peaceful slumber.

At home,

I am constantly

Flipping channels,

Jumping Web pages,

Swiping screens,

Looking for solace

Outside myself.

My attention span

Continues to diminish

While my need for

Meaningful connections

Expands, leaving me

Hungry for substance

Wherever I may find it.
