Unihemispheric Sleep
This poem is a shout out to all the students out there who are sacrificing their sleep and sanity to do well in school. Remember that while it is important to keep grades up and prepare ourselves for the future, we cannot bargain that with our health. The body and soul comes first. Take care of yourselves.
♥ Sophia
Unihemispheric Sleep;
Like a moth
Like a bat
Like the moon and all the trees.
Like the grass
Like the worm
Like the frog that never sleeps.
Like ink
Like paper
Like hands that trace the ring.
Like the squirrel
Like the owl
Like the breath to breathe.
Like a dolphin
Like a duck
Like unihemispheric sleep.
