Sleep calls to me in such a way
That I feel completely vexed
It says that I should rest my eyes for the day
But my thoughts are certainly a mess
I'm reminded of the things
That are needed to be done
And the songs I have yet to sing
Or how jumping from a plane could be fun
With a parachute of course
Because you know I'm not dumb
You know what makes it worse
How my back starts to go numb
Yet sleep beckons me
With a herd of sheep
Suggesting counting would set my mind at ease
Look here sleep, you are in too deep
I'm not counting sheep, my mind wanders
To a new one shot, or story idea
Dropping characters into mild hysteria
With hope of a tragic love
Or cast forth into battle fighting turtle doves
Yes I remembered to set my alarm
Forgive me if I wake 30 times to check
While waking to a drool covered arm
It's 4 am? What the heck?
Where's my reign at?
My energy is at an all time low
With sleep up to bat
My movement like a sloth, so slow
Is it morning or night?
Does anyone really know?
Am I dreaming right now?
As I sit on the potty
Forgive me my brain is a bit foggy
I think I forgot to rhyme with night...
Time to close this and take flight
Into a dream filled day
Because now it is daylight
Good morning and Good Night
Until we speak again
Auf Wiedersehen, my friend
