Competition: "Poet and I didn't know it"

Please don’t disturb me.
My bed warm and cozy.  
Tossing and turning,    
Trying to get some sleep.  
My pillows on one big heap.  
   
Hiding my face under the covers,  
The light creating all kinds of colors.  
My bed sheets thick and comfortable.  
Muffling the sounds outside my room,  
Trying to block the impending doom.  
   
“Will you come out to play?!”  
A voice I didn’t want to hear today.  
“Get out of bed you lazy swine!”  
I don't want to; I just pressed snooze.  
I want to sleep through this day of blues.
