I Need a Nap

Day 29/366 days of writing pieces in 2024. I’m exhausted right now so the best thing to write about was exactly what I’m feeling.

I need a nap, a moment of rest,

To lay my tired head on a pillow's crest.

I need a nap, a break from the day,

Where dreams can whisk me far away.

I need a nap, to close my heavy eyes,

And let my brain become revitalized.

I need a nap, to drift off into peaceful sleep,

Where time slows down and I go deep.

I need a nap, to escape the world,

To find solace in my blankets around me swirled.

I need a nap, to recharge my weary soul,

And let the sleepiness from my day slowly unroll.

I need a nap, to rejuvenate my mind,

To leave the worries and troubles from my to do list behind.

I need a nap, to awaken refreshed and anew,

Ready to face the challenges that ensue.

I need a nap, to find tranquility and peace,

Where all the stress and tension can cease.

I need a nap, to awaken with a smile,

And embrace the day with a renewed style.

So, I'll close my eyes and drift away,

I’ve done enough thinking for today.

For I know that when I wake from my nap,

I'll feel invigorated, and ready to slap.
