Set Up Sleepless Eyes Poem by Matt Burgett

Falling down to earth
At an incredible pace
The rain drops sacrifice themselves
As if it were a race

And I notice this
And I will not make a peep
Because I'm writing this so late
Because I can not sleep

And I need to get up early
It's not as easy as it seams
I have all my problems
And I don't remember my dreams

Now I write this poem right here
And It is for you all
I want you to see me now
And hear my deep hearted call

Because no-one else knows
Exactly how you feel
And for some of you
Your mouth may need a seal

So before you look at me
Like that again
I suggest you back down
Before I begin

And now I ask you all
To just be yourselves
Be happy with what you have
Or get put back on the shelves

Now before you think
You can just raise higher
Look into my eyes
Or you'll be set on fire
