Sandman
as i lay down and my eyes do not tire
my body does not rest, for my mind test my emotions as it thinks prolifically
for the sandman does not vist me when it’s time for slumber even though i wait with open arms
the tantalizing hope that prescriptions give as my eyes feel heavy then i hear my alarm beep and the birds chirp
the wretched sounds of another sleepless night
