Saturday Morning Special

Over and Under

sleep is so overrated

this topic is always debated

it takes up half of your time

yet never repays you a dime

8 hours is considered the norm

but 6 is more true to form

just as 10 would be greatly accepted

much less is more commonly expected

see sleep is a simple luxury

fitting into your schedule structurally

effected on a daily basis

recognizable in each others faces

sometimes you just lay in bed

waiting for your eyes to roll back in your head

crazy thoughts floating through your mind

while you try to slowly unwind

relaxing as you drift off to sleep

but awoken by the slightest peep

which makes you start this all again

and as you think you can never win

your thoughts are clear and you begin to write

a poem about this one crazy night

where everything has become conclusive

the answer is no longer elusive

as the first line of this poem has stated

sleep is so underrated

Another great poem from my little brother, Alex.
