I was tired of being depressed 
To pajamas I regressed 
I was tired of feeling surly 
So I went to sleep quite early
It was around mid afternoon 
A less than opportune
Time to try and catch some zees
Just close the eyes 
Withdraw from life
And rest the feeble mind 
I don’t like being awake 
I don’t like having heartache 
The desire for sleep is greater 
Than a reality fabricator 
I suck at being observant 
I falter when conversant 
With sleep I could be snoring 
Much better than being boring 
To avoid just feeling thoughtless 
I see no point in being conscious 
If asleep I’m kind and gentle 
Instead of overly judgmental 
I’m tired of being awake 
I’m tired of being a fake
With sleep I’m no longer ill at ease
With sleep I rest in peace
