Keep Me Awake Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

Keep me awake
I don't want to sleep
And get lost in the world
Of unconsciousness and dreams

I like to see the world
Its trivialities and realities
Its transformation, slow and sudden,
I don't want to hide in the hole of sleep

I may not get my next moment
I may be snatched away by destiny
I like to live in wakefulness my time ahead
Sleep steals away precious moments of life
Keep me awake I can kill tiredness with my eyes
And ears open to the changing scenery and sounds
