an actual poem for once

this actual poem,
that I am write.
finally, an actual poem,
during the day, during the night.

I write this poem,
start to end.
a proper poem,
my mind starts the bend.

as my quill runs out of ink,
I'm so tired, starting to sleep.
my eyes start to drag, I constantly blink.
the final full stop and then I sleep.
(did I really rhyme sleep with sleep, I'm a genius poet.)
