Sleeping Soundly

Little poem I wrote while I was sick in bed the other night.

i just wanna sleep soundly
no agitation, no distraction
i just wanna focus on my sleep!
nagging thoughts, anxieties of tomorrow
please just let me fall asleep…
this is hardly the time to get creative
it’s 2:02, why won’t you go to sleep?
was that my phone? better check it… of course not
put it down and GO. TO. SLEEP.

wake up, get to class,

and sleeping’s never been so easy.

this is a great piece purely because it is so easy to relate to, when reading it i can feel the same feelings that i'm sure were experienced during it's creation! great work haha.

Thanks so much! I always find myself thinking and writing heavy, existential stuff when I'm up too late so it was pretty therapeutic to step back for a sec and make light of those moments.

yeah i know what you mean, when you are alone in the dark like that it;s easy for your mind to wander, but this is a very real and true to self piece haha, i had a solid chuckle when i read it.
