2.22 in the morning
While all around me are asleep
3.33 am
And I still can’t make the leap
From wide awake to slumber
To join the Sandman on a quest
Dreaming weird adventures
Fantasies and the rest
4.44 and nothing
I just seem to toss and turn
Messing up the bedclothes
When will I ever learn
It’s not that I’m nocturnal
Sleep just doesn’t come
I’d like to get eight hours
But I don’t need it as much as everyone
5.55
The dark dissolves to light
I might as well get up now
And try again tonight
