tired
lay down
close eyes
but dreamland doesn’t come

very tired
getting agitated
about not being able to sleep

thoughts
running rampent
every which way
they are able to
in order to keep eyes opened

but you don’t want eyes opened
you want them shut
in a peaceful way

close eyes anyways
try to think of peaceful moments
that will help you
enter dreamland

a few hours later
you realize the sun has come up
and you only slept for two hours

oh your body aches for sleep
it wants just a few more hours
where nobody is bothering it
but that won’t happen

you get up
trip over things
as you scramble to the bathroom
for the morning ritchual

then you smell the coffee
your eyes perk up a tad
and you know inside
no more sleep for several more hours

argh!!!
time to get things done
