The Need for Sleep

Very sleepy-eyed, 
tired body,
so give out.

As I feel the need
for sleep, 
I fight it 
even still.

Why won't I let it 
take me, 
far beyond 
the clouds, 
where the shrouds
disappear
and I never have to fear.

Sleep to me never 
comes easy, 
and when it does
I fight it. 

okay, I give.
Goodnight. Goodmornin'. 
whatever time it is. 
Sleep... I'm here!
