Eyes flutter
as they try to close
exhausted,weary laden
I fight the sleep.
The darkness, looming
drowziness overtaking
sleep calling.
I turn
I stand
I roll
I fight,
exhausted, weary laden
weakness peaking
stubbornness ruling
sleep calling
the darkness
still looming
but will not
find me
unguarded
unprepared.
Tears are present
always present
taking control
of every emotion.
exhausted, weary laden
vulnerability rises
sleep advancing
darkness surrounds
eyes close
sleep conquers
dreams to haunt.
whew...could use just a little more of the sleep myself actually...take me away
