Stay Awake With Me (Poem)

Even though your body aches with exhaustion,
you find it difficult to completely shut off.
Hearing the most comforting sounds
even keeps you awake and wanting for more.

The want for sweeter dreams,
as the soul grows weary.
The human form collapses, feeling weak
slowly draining the life from it.

Why does one have to require so much sleep,
when there are so many things to do or see?
There is so much life to live and yet,
you spend most of it with your eyes closed.
