Sweet Dreams, Sweet Dreams Poem by Emma Alberts

I lay down my soft head
To have
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
I pull up the covers
And stare into the seams

I close my eyes
To sleep
For an hour or two
I see grass that's green
And oceans of blue

I'll stay asleep forever
And ever
I never wanna open my eyes
Never wanna see the world again
Those I love and those I despise

It's not what it seems
In these
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
