Sleep

Sleep and slip
into dream life
all mine
so sublime
sleep more
life hard 
so heavy
too weak
sleep and creep 
into peace 
light and free
awake I weep
pain heaps
sad deep
so tired
need freed
how soon
can I sleep
and sleep
so tired
need more
how soon 
can 
I
go
so

TY Che !! I've had enough excess sleep that I shouldn't have to sleep the rest of my life. That world saved me many times !! Jeanie xoxo
