Wide Awake
It's the dead of night
My nerves strung extremely tight
4:30 a.m., I come awake with a start
I just hate life when at this hour my eyelids do part
My body aches, I need to relax
I'm so exhausted, my energy, this day will definitely tax
My brain cries out for needed relief
I hunger for sleep, I shout in disbelief
Why Again? when I desperately need to sleep
It doesn't work counting those naughty sheep
My mind races a million miles an hour
I might as well get up and go take a shower
But I continue to lie in bed
Sooo, I write this testy poem instead
Hoping that my eyelids will start to droop
Knowing in vain that my lost energy, I'll never recoup
An hour gone by
I angrily let out a tremendous sigh
Each tic toc of the clock doth ensue
Wistful dreams of sleep I'll not get to pursue
As the minutes and hours continue
My fond dreams of sleep now gone; flabbergasted, I know it's terribly true
Only a little while longer till I get up for work
My body hurts, but my job I cannot shirk
My wife's alarm clock goes off at 6
ยกOh fiddlesticks!
I guess my restless night is over
I wish it was just starting as I throw off my bedcovers
