An Abecedarian Poem

After a long day Battles are continuing Chores are waiting Days are longer, yet not Enough time to Finish the neverending chores. Goals — did I achieve them? Hey, why would I pause and ponder, when I can Ignore the unsettling noises and Just go to bed. Kiss goodnight, Lights off and sleep tight. Morning will be here quickly Now’s the time to sleep Or else, I’ll be tired Prancing from dream to dream. Quiet down worries, the Reflections you leave Silently imprison my mind and the Turbulence I’m subjected to, Unkind, mind you! making me Volatile and Worn out, a Xerox of such nights Yielding yawns, but no sleep Zapping my energy — and thus ends my day.
