fighting sleep

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Down goes the pale thin eyelids,

Covering over the deep blue seas.

Trying to lift those blurry screens,

Like heavy stones they seem to be.

Try as I might, they don't cease to drop,

Those stubborn things ignoring me.

Why is it I need to sleep,

My mind is awake, but my eyes are beat.

Every second, I open my mouth,

A yawn escapes my pale pink lips.

A perfect sign of my tired self,

But still stubborn me refuses to sleep.

Dad has too drag me to bed,

Oh what a struggle did I make.

But dropping down on the soft white sheets,

Immediately I fell asleep.

Human nature I tried to defy,

To no avail, but I did try.

The blurring figure in front of me,

Kissing me goodnight before I drifted asleep.

Darkness covered my whole sight,

As the silent abyss took over my mind.

Oh why is it humans need to sleep,

I wondered before it could engulf me.

And there I lay, with my eyes shut tight,

Peacefully sleeping, not putting up a fight.
