Tired Of Being Awake Poem by Ray Hansell

My eyes find it difficult
Trying to stay open
I keep looking at the clock
All the time just hoping

That before too long
It will be time for me to leave
Then I can go home
To get just what I need

Sleep, sleep and more sleep
I know that would help
Then once again I'll know
Just how good sleep has felt

I'd sleep all through the day
If I only could
But to sleep that long
I know would not be good

So for now I'll have to wait
Until the time comes when I can go
Knowing full well when I get home
My tiredness will surely show
