They walk around like zombies

Eyes hanging and yawning.

Wrapped in soft cotton blankets

Minds unwilling to wake.

I haven’t slept for two nights

I’ve got to keep trying.

No I won’t lay my head down, delusions swirl

I just saw a rainbow squirrel.

I will work for years if that is what I may

I won’t go to sleep until I have an A.

Let the suns rays cover my face

I won’t turn away.

Yes I am sleep deprived,

but I don’t care.

I’m suffering now,

So I won’t fail.

Forget sleep. Give me success.
