To Nap or Not To Nap
To nap or not to nap- that is the question
Whether to catch up on the sleep from
late nights filled with tweeting and snapchatting
To stay awake and accomplish all the goals
And by opposing, complete all assignments. To Study. To cram.
No more, and by napping, we get rid of the dark under eye circles. No longer needing concealer and makeup
But we always need sleep to survive.
Yet as we lay to rest the outlines and literary criticism hang over our heads
Do we risk failure and graduation just to catch some shut eye
And dream that someday we will be able to nap
peacefully without distractions
But dreams only happen while one is fast asleep
Questioning if education is worth the exhaustion
Deciding that maybe the homework can wait a few hours
To climb into bed and ignore the backpack beside it
Homework can wait till a free period tomorrow
Because spending the afternoon in pajamas is worth more
And after a refreshing nap the homework will still be waiting for me in the same place I left it.
