Long Lost Sleep
By: Erin
You know those nights where sleep slips away?
And your mind floats this, that, and the other way…
Yeah – not my favorite time of day
The dark seems darker
The cold seems colder
The scary seems scarier
And all you can think is:
“Okay, now it’s time to go to sleep.”
You even try counting sheep
But you do this to no avail
And we all hate to fail
Especially when it’s something we need
In order to function and succeed
But some nights it slips away gone
And some nights it comes off and on
Which is frustrating to no end
Because our minds make the darkness grow and extend
During this time when we are awake
When it blissful sleep for which we ache
