Dear You

 

Dear You

Dear you, so suddenly deep,
Sleepy waves begin to creep.

It is scary, eyes so tight,
Fighting hard to keep them bright.

You—my thoughts start fading slow,
Drowsy whispers start to grow.

I don’t want to be like this,
Dreams and lessons can’t coexist.

I don’t want to sleep in class,
Let these heavy moments pass.

Help me, please, I beg, I plead,
Wake me up, I’m in great need.

Don’t make me sleepy, not right now,
Focus, mind—please show me how!
