Sleepless

The clock ticks as 2:30 AM comes around
and the rest I desire cannot be found.
I cannot seem to fall asleep
and therefore my dreams I cannot keep.

Oh how I long to get some rest
so I can go to school and pass any test.
I need to stay awake in my class
as I wait for the hour to pass.

I wish I could just lay down for a while
but naps just aren't my style.
I don't know why but I just cannot
sleep during the day, so my rest is shot.

I've become sleepless
in this room that is a mess.
I just want to close my eyes
and wait as the night dies.

But no, my brain refuses to turn off
so at it I will scoff.
I'll stay awake all night
because sleep's call won't fight.
I haven't been able to get much sleep lately and I really need it, especially with school. Can't sleep in the classroom.
