Over Worked Student
trest, my eyes tell me, sleep, says my brain
my delusional mind says, "you're going insane"
my fingers drag from key to key
my joints ache, shoulders, elbows, knees
sleep sleep sleep, my body's dying plea
A couple more pages, another hour or two
then I will be complete, them I will be through
Go grab my teddy and hold it real tight
sleep sleep sleep, the long cold night
dreaming the dreams, not yet in sight.
My head on my pillow and my covers surround me
Up to my neck, under my nose, so I can barely see.
Closing my eyes, shutting off my ears,
Tucking away thoughts, laughter and fears,
I will sleep til I awake, when the sun of tommorow nears.
