"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.
