John Bernard Poet Free verse

Sleep At Night

How fast the night does fly
When I am able to sleep
But when I have to try
My sleep is never deep

Don’t want any medication
Just for me to get some rest
I will do it with dedication
I think that would be best

I have taken shots of whiskey
To make myself pass out
It just made me very frisky
And then got me in a bout

Many have made suggestions
On things that I should take
It all just caused congestions
I’d say give a guy a break

Now my pain gets treated
It helps me sleep at night
Therapy has to be repeated
And it makes me feel alright
