Angela Crabtree Poet Rhyme

Go To Sleep Please

Be quiet.
I'm trying to fall asleep.
Stop the disquiet.
I shouldn't need to count sheep.
I'm not interested
in what you might say.
You've been treated for what's inhibited.
You should be okay.
It's of no consequence to me
what you're wearing tomorrow.
Put something on with glee.
I refuse to live in your sorrow.
I'm tired of your fear.
A person shouldn't live this way.
Are you afraid to steer?
Will your direction ever sway?
You need to find the momentum
and flow with the one you love.
Be sure it's with them
and awake to the sun above.

Victor Buhagiar December 13, 2020 at 12:41 PM To have a partner that would not let me sleep!!! Maybe a good kick would help:) Just joking. Give him some whiskey to drown his sorrow. ~~ Angela Crabtree December 13, 2020 at 12:56 PM lol
