Always Sleepy
I am always sleepy till I lie down
than sleep is nowhere to be found
Close my eyes and lay still
clear my mind and just chill
But slowly my eyes peek open again
insomnia seems to always win
Get up and walk the floor
yawn a little than some more
Turn on the TV and let the glow
nod me off with boring shows
Drink warm milk with honey
urge for bathroom visits not funny
Go outside and watch the moon
feeling sleepy resumes
In bed to try again
sleeplessness a nightly friend
Pillow big and fluffy
AC on to cool stuffy
Eyes heavy dozing into slumber
alarm goes off like a clack of thunder
At work in my cubicle chair
sound asleep without a care.
