I feel relieved and yet so tired.
It's been 3 days since I've last slept.
And now you've helped me sleep.
Now I'm cold.
I've tried avoiding you.
And yet I always run back to you.
You're like a drug.
Something that helps,
But so many side effects.
It's cold and bright.
Please turn of the light.
Please let me sleep.
Melatonin, you've helped and yet I always regret taking you.
