Late Night, Early Morning

collapse into the covers

away from the stress of the day

in dire need of sleep

wrapped in my comforter's embrace.

surrounded by the silence

now it's time to relax

step into the world of the night

and leave today in the past.

in the serene world of dreams

where the peace is never disrupted

but unfortunately for me

the calmness is always interrupted.

the stupid alarm clock

going tick tock, tick tock

screaming at me: get out of bed!

but still I can't wake up

go away! I tell the noise

I'm tired, let me sleep

sighing, I press the snooze button

and slip back into my dreams.
