You don't want to stay awake but you can't sleep.
Outside it's eerily quiet and yet you can't sleep.
You think about sheep and you still can't sleep.
Your eyelids droop and you can't sleep.
The medications take effect and you're drowsy and sleepy but you cannot sleep.
You watch the boring late night TV and sleep does not come.
You're so tired you can't eat or read but still no sleep.
You toss and turn on the ground but you still don't sleep.
You shut your eyes and force yourself to take a nap, no sleep.
The alarm rings at 5:30 A.M., time to get up.
You're too tired to get up, so...
you go to sleep.
