Restless 2005A Poem by Kieran James McGovern
RESTLESS I’m not tired So why go to bed yet? When I’m tired, I’ll go to bed Makes sense, doesn’t it? Just because the whole world is sleeping Doesn’t necessarily mean I have to sleep Does it? I’d just lay there Lie there Uncomfortable No need to turn in yet There’s a whole lot left Every moment of consciousness makes me a moment older And a thought wiser It’s gratifying to reflect on that If I was asleep, I wouldn’t notice it And I wouldn’t feel the growing pains At least I can feel when I’m awake Am I right? I like being awake It’s not so bad I’ll sleep later Doesn’t that make sense? © 2009 Kieran James McGovern |
