Tonight it would be hard for me to sleep my duty I performed shabbily I hurt mindlessly my promises I failed to keep-- my excuses sleep would not overlook or forgive deep inside it's as though some worms are beginning to creep gnawing at my whole being how could I sleep? when poisons seep into the blood-system when conscience bites at the seam when loud internal voices ring to condemn where would I find sweet memories to keep? what I sow I reap it's well past midnight but how could I sleep?

SLEEP
Tonight it would be hard for me to sleep my duty I performed shabbily I hurt mindlessly my promises I failed to keep-- my excuses sleep would not overlook or forgive deep inside it's as though some worms are beginning to creep gnawing at my whole being how could I sleep? when poisons seep into the blood-system when conscience bites at the seam when loud internal voices ring to condemn where would I find sweet memories to keep? what I sow I reap it's well past midnight but how could I sleep?
