I should not be up this late
The clock mocks me and dangles the time in front of me like bait.
The second hand drags on
And my sigh turns into a yawn

I have decided I should count sheep
I lay here watching my imagination as they leap.
I got to 1,000 and decided the sheep were not working.
I opened my eyes and saw something lurking.

It was the sun outside my window beginning to dawn
An entire night, wasted on sheep, and now it’s gone

Even the moon went to sleep before I did
Or maybe it just went a hid
Because it knew I had an exam today
And that I would be tired from it taunting me all night like its pray.

But here I am stuck with the sun
And my eyelids weigh approximately one ton
Now my eyes decide to close like a clam
I will now give in and chose sleep, and skip the damn exam
