To Those Who Kept Me Up Last Night

To Those Who Kept Me Up Last Night

Sleep deprivation.
The noise, I tried evasion.
It comes from your play station,
my sleep deprivation.

I work throughout the day
so you can educate.
Please let me hibernate
at night, and not the day.

There was a time long gone,
when I'd sleep all night long.
So what can be so wrong
‘bout wanting the noise to be gone?

There’s dots now in my vision,
might be my mind’s derision,
might lead to bad decisions,
create new family divisions.

You think it doesn’t matter,
that I’m as mad as a hatter.
My mood is in such shatters,
and nothing really matters

but sleep deprivation!
It leads to mind vacation,
My death, a strong relation
to sleep deprivation.
