Trying To Stay Awake

October 15, 2010
By Anonymous

I did not,
Want To go back to bed.
Though tired,
I wanted to stay awake instead.
I did not,
Want to go to sleep.
Or fall again,
Into that bottemless deap.
Of endless black jurny,
Down stairless steep,
Cald lost in the world,
Of a peaceless sleep.
