Never Ending Humorous Poems, Tasha [love letters to the dead .txt] 📗

My eyes are heavy, but I won't give in
I spend all of my energy on only one thing
It's only been a minute, but it feels like an hour
My own personal battle that I can't seem to beat
While in the face of sleepiness, I cower
But still I try to fight on
Trying to not let the up and the bottom meet
Forcing those eyelids to open, it's a hard task
They close down again
This time I don't have the power to keep them apart
And so, sleepiness won, but I'll make sure I win the next

The sleep fairy is out to get me again
Every time I open my eyes they close
I may just have to end up forfeiting
Well, one more time, here goes
This time I'm able to keep them open for 3 minutes
But, the sleep fairy has caught up
She forces my eyes closed, shut
That's it, I think, I've had enough
So, I go up in my room, giving up
To show her that she's won I close my eyes
Sleepiness is immediately on the rise
