Sandman

Mr. Sandman,
Bring me a treat
Bring me a couple pints
Maybe some pills to eat
(Because I don’t sleep)
I’m sure you’ve seen
My eyelids being held up
By those little devils
And their pitchforks
Conniving smiles amass;
They think they’ve won
They haven’t
Not yet, not yet.
Not ever.

I love this. I sometimes feel the same way. Why can't the lil devils just let us be? Gosh, Mr. Sandman please bring us some treats, please? Kudos. -Aneesah.
