[4] The Dream

"Once I dreamt
Of a land far away
In which I slept
At the end of each day

But that's all gone now
The insomnia's taken over
The dreams don't know how
To take me back to this land

And when I fall asleep
The dream returns
And for this feat
I always yearn

But I won't sleep tonight
I've known this all along
With or without a fight
Sleep won't come for long"

The class clapped and I gave Ms. Benson my paper before gathering my books as the bell rang.

I might be okay.

But not today.
