Sleep

I want to sleep.

I want to be left alone.

I am exhausted.

To sleep would be nice.

Sleep has not come in a while.

So exhausted.

So tired.

So sleepily.

I need to sleep.

I need to be alone.

Sleep eludes me.

Tears fall down my face.

So exhausted.

So sleepily.

I hear voices, yet I do not understand what they say.

Their voices wash over me,

Soothing me to sleep.

Finally my exhausted body falls.

My eyes are heavy.

My head is lead.

I dream.

I do not wake.

For I am exhausted.

So tired.

So sleepily.

So exhausted.

Let me sleep.

Sleep, sleep.
