Let Me Drift

Sleep will not come for me.
What am I to do about this truly?
Close my eyes but don’t drift off.
Feel like I’m watching the clock.
Tick and tock but I don’t feel drowsy.
If it doesn’t change soon I’m gonna feel lousy.
Especially if I see the sun rise.
As four am is my normal wake time.
And with it being Monday I’ll have work to get to.
Thought of trying to soldier through is not what I want to do.
So send me a fairy that brings me sleep.
Cause I’ve tried the classic of counting sheep.
It hasn’t worked and never does.
Just leaves me feeling stupid for trying such.
And my usual habit of emptying my brain,
Hasn’t helped me escape this conscious frame.
