Too Tired

Clark Steven Lupton

August 27, 2005



I’m so sleepy

That I cannot sleep

I’m too tired to take pills

And I’m too tired to count sheep



I’m too tired to drink warm milk

I’m too tired to relax

I’m too tired to read a book

My tiredness is to the max



I tried to drink coffee today

Because I really lacked rest

But the caffeine did nothing for me

I was too tired to digest



I’m too tired to yawn

I’m too tired to nap

I am so tired

The only thing sleeping is my lap



I am so tired

My eyes are already dry

I’m one tired tired-guy

About that I cannot lie



I yearn for some sleep

I dream about dreaming

I need to get some shut eye

So my life can have some meaning



I won’t take alcohol

Because I believe I shouldn’t be drinking

But I’m willing to thump my head on the wall

To stop me from all this thinking



I tried boring TV shows

I tried chamomile tea

That’s supposed to relax you

But it doesn’t work on me



It doesn’t come easy for me

Rapid Eye Movement isn’t cheap

I think I can’t sleep because I worry too much

I worry about my lack of sleep
