Sleep

by B-Dawg (scorpio) - Not entered


Sleep,
It comes to others
but not me

It stays just out of my grasp
waiting taunting
I yawn, I stretch,
I beg of sleep, yet it does not come

How have I offended sleep
why does it not show itself?

Others find sleep but not I
and when I do it does not leave.

When I want to be awake
sleep holds me in its grasp
It taunts me, it will not leave

sleep makes me late
and makes me mad
yet does not care

Sleep is my master
yet others master sleep
why can't I...

Sleep

Reason for writing:

    
This is my first non-rhyming poem.  I wrote it at about 3:00 AM while trying to fall asleep
