Slumber More Or Less

 
Woke up before the sun again
Still hours to go before the rise
And sat in dark so deep awhile
Just wishing for some slumber more
So tired and yet my eyes are wide
It seems to happen every night
And medication simply makes me dumb
I’ve given up on drugged relief
I suppose that I could drink some rest
But passing out doesn’t pass the test
It only makes me sick and sore of head
Instead of wishing for some kip
You wish that you were dead
 I wonder if tomorrow night
Will bring me what I need
Or if I’ll rise before the sun
And pray for slumber more
