I Need Sleep
All I need is sleep.
I get plenty on the weekends, but not much during the week.
I often go to bed to late; then just lay there wanting to eat,
While midnight snacks are good,
And I generally love food,
I remember my mom telling me it's unhealthy to eat before bed;
So I lay there thinking, mulling over my day instead.
Obligations, homework, the girls that smiled at me earlier;
My mind provides endless cheerful chatter.
When I finally drift off, it's blissful and quiet...
Beep! Beep! Beep!
It's my alarm warning of that 8:00 am class
I am tired and complacent;
I want to skip it, but I go...
I love sleep. I cherish every moment.
I can relax each night and drop my worries...
And dreams are free entertainment;
When I can find that I take it,
Which is something that I have learned in college.
I need a break from the daily stress and knowlege;
I need sleep.
