Sleep

This I do know
to sleep I would go
That's what I need
on my knees I plead.

A dream or two
I just can't do
My eyes all red
toss and turn in bed.

I read and write
stay up all night
My mind will race
about things I can't face.

All my worries creep out
they scream and shout
I would pay any price
just to sleep at night!
