My eyelids just keep getting heavy.
My consciousness keeps fading away.
Sleep keeps invading like a stranger,
Looking for a place it can stay.
The sun has gone into hiding.
Darkness snuck in like a thief.
I keep battling the fall into the slumber,
That keeps promising to give me relief.
The days are most all filled with struggles,
The night time stands out like a prize.
Dreamland keeps calling me over,
Just waiting till I close my eyes.
The visions that visit in my slumber,
Can often bring anxiety and fear.
I will often look for solutions,
But the lessons learned are not clear.
When I am weary I'll always seek refuge,
Hoping to find it in my bed.
My pillow is attempting seduction,
Offering a place for my head.

A good write laser. You dozed off after writing this?! lol.
I doze easily in front of the TV. Perhaps a commentary on the programming.
Sleep, our respite from this dark dream. Dreams, our contact with reality. Thought-provoking poem, lg!
Sometimes I work harder in my sleep than when I am awake.
I shall read this again before I go to bed. It drove me sleepy.
Really nice read.
This is such a well written poem! It is so relatable. Going into the faves!
Sounds like you need the Dream Police to re-direct the traffic to a detour. Sweet dreams my friend. ; )
A lot of thoughts to ponder before going to sleep. Well written, my friend!

Good write, I am and always have been an early riser but now having been retired for over five years I can nap anytime anywhere.
