Dear Sleep

 

Dear sleep,

 

You are such a wonderful thing

With rest and relaxion, it makes me sing

I love the way you soothe my mind

You are truly one of a kind

 

There is no replacement for your being

And the greatness you’re achieving

The purpose of you is to empower

Especially with the recommended eight hours

 

But why do you have to be mandatory

Taking you in with all your glory

Many days you are a waste of time

Taking so many hours is a crime

 

I could be doing so much more

Without you in my life for sure

I could be reading a book or making art

I do so many things when we’re apart

 

And soon enough I get this unfortunate feeling

Where my entire self needs some healing

That only you can do for me

You are a life saver meant to be

 

Our time together is very nice

And too much of you is a vice

But when I don’t get enough of you

My attitude gets very blue

 

Which make me realize your true meaning

Is to give my mind a mental cleaning

Without you the world would ring

You are such a wonderful thing

 

Love,

Me
