"A Sleepless Night"

September 4, 2012, 11 o'clock I climb into bed,

I snuggle with my blanket and make sure I don't hit my head.

I toss and turn waiting to fall asleep,

When will sleep slowly come and creep?

Hours pass and I am still lying down awake.

When will I ever catch a break?

I think to myself what can I do? So I start to read a book

That is about an innocent chicken being overcooked.

When that fails I begin to count sheep,

But whatever I do, I make sure not to weep.

After all that, my mind finally stops wondering

And before I know it my eyes are slowly closing and my mind has stopped pondering.

It takes a couple more minutes until I start dreaming

About the first day of senior year which is finally beaming

1, 2, and 3 I am finally asleep.

Ready for senior year which will creep.
