Life Taken The Wrong Way Poet Couplet

Sleepless 10 Year-Old

I'm trying to do nothing

But I keep doing something



Though I'm not doing much

I've still got the magic touch



I'm trying to go to sleep

Without saying a peep



It's hard to try

But even harder to cry



I'm trying to dance

Without losing my pants



Hopefully I will grow taller

Without having to holler



I will try and go to bed

As my mother had said



So I might start a fight

But I'm trying with all my might

To be polite

So goodnight

alright
