"You need this... Just let your mind relax..." My body keeps telling me As I sit here My eyes drooping As my mind goes fuzzy Fighting the urge To take a snooze Is no easy task Because you'll usually lose But I must do it The thoughts in my head Will just become more livid If I let myself slip unconscious Because although thoughts flash Across the mind When they turn to dreams It's a continuous stream But maybe I can doze For just five minutes? No I can't Because it won't end there I must stay awake It's the only choice At least the one that makes The most sense But alas, it's no use It's overpowering yet again I'll close my eyes, and go to sleep Just to wake up again This time maybe My mind will take flight And show what I want Not what I fear.

Fears Awaken in Dreams
"You need this... Just let your mind relax..." My body keeps telling me As I sit here My eyes drooping As my mind goes fuzzy Fighting the urge To take a snooze Is no easy task Because you'll usually lose But I must do it The thoughts in my head Will just become more livid If I let myself slip unconscious Because although thoughts flash Across the mind When they turn to dreams It's a continuous stream But maybe I can doze For just five minutes? No I can't Because it won't end there I must stay awake It's the only choice At least the one that makes The most sense But alas, it's no use It's overpowering yet again I'll close my eyes, and go to sleep Just to wake up again This time maybe My mind will take flight And show what I want Not what I fear.
