Enjoy reading these 3 poems about sleep and dreams.

POEM 1: Wide Awake

Can’t sleep at night

So I choose to stay up and write

Without turning on the light

My eyes can’t see anything too bright if I’m going to get any sleep tonight

My brain and eyes are constantly in a fight

Eyes flowing like a river as thoughts comes left and right

My eyes are tired but my brain is not, so I try to go to sleep with all my might

I lay my head on the pillow and hug it very tight

Eventually my thoughts says goodnight

But it be at 7 am, right when the sunlight starts to shine so bright

And this is why I get less than 8 hours of sleep at night.

POEM 2: Overwhelmed by Dreams

I have too many dreams

My mind is thinking of so many things

It gets a little overwhelming for me

Achieving goals is harder than it seems

But I am excited for what the future will bring

I want to try to do everything

If I don’t achieve anything what would life mean?

POEM 3: Too Many Goals

Business goals

Personal goals

Career goals

Which one should I focus on?

I can’t get distracted

Sorry for the way I been reacting

I have too many goals to achieve

And I got to do this all on my own

I’m the only one who believes in me

They can’t even see the dream I see

I got too many goals

Way too many goals
