Sleep is a beautiful thing, sadly I can't ever get enough of it She seems so close, yet she is always just out of reach She taunts me gloating of how heavenly she is, torturing me Others can easily get to her while people like me struggle for even the smallest of touches She only appears when she isn't needed In my classes, during practice and when I need to go out Then and only then does she grip me tightly not willing to let me go She knows what she's doing and yet she won't stop Yet still when I need her most she disappears So sleep child and leave your fears behind you Create a world of your own design Live and thrive there Let it become your own, because when you grow Your monsters will follow you and sleep will abandon you
