Ode To Restless Sleep

Wrote this a while ago and thought I'd share.

..........

To the wind brushing itself against my window,
would you shut the fuck up? I'm trying to sleep.
To whoever's stomping around in the hall,
you might as well be as graceful as an elephant.
To the light peaking from beneath my door,
thank you for saving me the humiliation of buying a nightlight.
To my alarm clock,
please don't go off.
To my toothbrush,
sorry I flung you across the room.
To the darkness and to the monsters under my bed,
please don't eat me.
To my night brain,
do you even have an "off" button?
To my bedsheets,
I hope I don't make you too uncomfortable when I straddle you.
To my pillow,
wouldya stop suffocating me?
Also to my pillow,
you're in desperate need of some stuffing.
To the anxiety,
go away, please and thank you.
To the squirrel in the tree,
please don't freeze. You're kinda cute.
To my roommate,
Ignore the sleeptalk. I don't actually hate you.
...
To my insomnia,
go die in a hole.
To the tossing and turning,
stop.
To my socks,
it's not that you're unloved. It's just that my body is too hot for you ;)
To my bed,
thanks for always being there.
To Mr. Bunny,
you'll probably end up on the floor again.
I'm sorry.
To my dinner,
please stay down.
To my desert,
that goes for you, too.
To my dreams,
don't turn into nightmares.
To my homework,
find a way to solve yourself by morning.

..........

Hasta la próxima,

Much love xoxo
