Tired

My eyes are drooping
My head is banging

My body's cold
My mind's full

I feel like death
I feel my heart
It's beating slowing into the dark

My fingers stiff
My blanket was ripped

My purple bags growing
My lungs slowing

To slow to react
To fast to sleep
The bed not comfy under my feet

Tomorrow is school, a shit day too
The next days work, a weekend without fun
The day afters an outing, no sleep there I'm counting
The day after is school, man I hate school
Then again, and again, and again, and again
I bet I have work somewhere in there too

I really want sleep
I really want to eat
I really want a unicorn
I have no idea where that came from

I'll just make a coffee, or maybe a tea
Four spoons of coffee or three bags of tea
Sugars are usually two, three to the most
Okay now I'm thirsty, I just want some toast

My mother wants to drug me
My father wants to knock me out
My sister's wants hugs
My brother wants drugs
My grandma wants smokes
And me, well I want some bloody SLEEP!!!
