As soon as I fall into slumber,
I am instantly awake.
Oblivion lasts a moment
too short for my feeble mind to take
enough respite for the inevitable
responsibility of a new day.
Why can’t tomorrow wait?

Truth! ☺️👏 Excellent little piece Bugsy.
Oh, I wonder the same thing, why can't it?? Felt this so deeply. Sorry if this is truth for you. Not sleeping really sucks. Beautifully penned though!!
