The Open Canvas [Poetry]

Wanting Sleep

I am so tired and I don't know what to do.
Supressing this desire I have is really making me blue.
Lack of sleep is definately killing me.
Wow, you can tell that I'm a walking zombie.

My eyes are droopy and look like I haven't slept in days.
I can't concentrate on things and I can't work in these type of ways.
Time, hurry up and pass so that I can can go home soon.
For my lovely bed and pillow I want to have time with under the beautiful moon.

I feel like I can't hold on any longer
But I ask for strength dear Lord, please let me be stronger.
The entrance is closing before its allotted time.
Oh, precious sleep why can't you be mine?

I yearn and I crave for you,
But still you are being difficult. Why won't you come through?
Sleep, it is you I am longing to meet.
But when I finally have you, I know you will be very sweet.
