I feel tired and drowsy,

eyelids fluttering and dragging

head tipping forward and books sliding out of my arms

but I must stay awake for I may get behind, 

and when I fall into that shadowy trance-like sleep,

there may be nothing but nightmares

and deviations from tips of angels' wings 

and tear-stained, bloody, remorseful smiles,

as each being is transported 

into their own individual hells

 chained by personal sins and tainted souls,

I must stay awake 

for as the dawn of  eternity's night approaches,

I may cease to wake up once more.
