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.
