so tired

how lovely it would be to get 8 hours of sleep
for my nights to be filled with dreams
instead of homework and a laptop screen
if I could turn the clock back a few years
i'd cherish all the time I spent in bed
when instead of sleeping I just laid awake
and listened to music or talked to friends
if I could go back, I'd close my eyes instead
i'd embrace my tiredness, enjoy the euphoria of feeling dead
oblivious to the insomnia that would one day fill my head
