Give Me Sleep

Through the halls- I drowse without sleep. I hide behind curtains that are cheap. Into the night, they call my name. I am here, I feel fame. This place is evil, and I feel haunted. With the living, I am taunted. Put me to sleep, spare me rest! Please take me to be blessed! If only I could hunt down some sheep. I would give up my family for them to keep.
