My archenemy-Sleep

2:31 PM Life , poetry 0 Comments

Everyone must have felt excessive sleepiness at some point in their lives.Especially students-they are robbed of their precious time and struggle to cope with it.This poem tells about my own experiences with this unavoidable reason for failure.

O Sleep,why do you trouble me

During my most crucial times?
As if I've committed
A million crimes!

Day after day,hour after hour

You force my head down on the bench

Relentless blows erode my control

And push me into a very deep trench.

Just when I think I'm good for more

You make your ugly,unwanted presence felt

You hug me like a bear,though I implore

And to your sweet lullabies my defences melt.

Please do leave me alone till I'm done

With study and work and life and fun

Because after my death in the grave

You and I will always be one.
