A Good Book

No matter how hard I try
there’s always nights of
which can never be said
is slept without having
raised from a most
comfortable bed
searching for something
to help me sleep
when mother said
“it’s all in your head!”
so I tried just that
even went to
the library
and read
and read
cus a good book will do that
help me relax
so there every day
I’d find a corner and sat
going through
stories of castles and queens
of lost children and giants
even scary dreams
now I know what to do
when I can’t find my sleep
I’ll get a good book
and have a nice seat


Moral: reading inspires
