5 More Minutes

I don't want to leave my bed,
Even with thunder pounding in my head.
The lightning strikes,
And illuminates the dull room.

I don't want to leave this room,
But one day I have to.
Five more minutes in bed,
Just to rest my head.

Five more minutes are over,
I still have to remove the cover.
But the storm makes me drowsy again,
And what's five more minutes to sleep in?
