To Sleep Yet Again




I’m here only when I sleep
Dozing waking only to scurry
Off to school for the daylight hours
Returning only at darkness
I sleep yet again.


Its walls painted
Colors intense as black
Erect, starring, looking for some end
Its boundless borders 
Descending down softly curling
Coming to sleep yet again
Sleeping yet again


I’m here only when I sleep
For me it isn’t a way to sleep
An alternative way will be
Unorthodox it may be

So I must be careful where I sleep
What type of question I answer
Criminal it may be
To sleep yet again.
