It's a torment to be awake
at a time when you should be sleeping.
But there's an impending fear that comes
whenever you attempt to shut those eyelids.

Is it that you'll wake up late?
Is it that you'll sleep forever?
Is it that you'll miss something?
Is it that you can't wait?

Whatever the reason,
once you're overpowered
the fear will subside
along with your eyes.
