Sun burn

I woke up as my alarm went off 

I knew it was Sunday 

But why did I keep an alarm?

when I just can get more sleep.

Then I realized today is the day to get Sun burned

Today is the day where level of my tolerance is measured 

Today is the day that I get to practice what I preach 

Today is the day for me to prove that I get the last laugh

Today is the day for me to step out of my comfort zone

Today will be a defining day in my life, that’s for sure!

With thoughts going spiral 

I had one thing to do,

I had to face the truth

It is going to be a fierce battle, 

A battle between sanity and grit

I was determined to show up for myself 

I had to prove that I’m worthy,

That I’m good enough 

It’s not a question about right or wrong 

It’s not a question about faith or what you believe in

It’s about principles

It’s about doing the right thing

My mind was filling up with thoughts that I couldn’t control 

I almost got a sneak peak of Mr Perera’s mind

The struggle was real

There’s only one thing I had to do 

I had to make a choice 

It’s now or never,

I had nothing to prove 

There’s no time to procrastinate 

I had to remain calm 

To simply get my eight hour sleep.

Sleep Apnea

Oh man, it's that time of the day

Thinking of sleep is making me lose my mind.

Who needs sleep anyway?

Some people can sleep, 

while others can't 

maybe I'm one of those,

Others,

I thought about it, 

probably today is a 'good day'

I'm determined, 

I'm hopeful, 

I'll get my fair share of shut-eye. 

I did my math,

If I sleep now I can get four solid hours.

Perhaps, I should count the sheeps from two hundred, in reverse.

That's what all the expert gurus told me. 

They can't be wrong, 

They know everything!

Two hundredth sheep went over the hurdle,

One hundred ninety-ninth sheep went over the hurdle,

One hundred ninety-eighth sheep went over the hur-

Wait, now, this is stupid!

Why can't I just fall asleep like a normal person?

Maybe, that is the problem,

I'm not normal

maybe - I'm special,

One hundred ninety-seventh sheep went over the hurdle,

One hundred ninety-sixth sheep went over the hurdle

Maybe, I should have a glass of warm milk,

Or hot camomile tea,

No, let's just give it some more time.

One hundred ninety-fifth sheep went over the hurdle..

one.. hundred.. ninety-fourth.. sheep went over..... the hur--dle

Oh wow, this seems to be working!

That's it! finally, some sleep

Let's go!

one hundred.. ninety-fourth..sleep went to the super..market-

buzz buzz buzz

buzz, what the f- buzz

What's going on!!

oh no! No no!

It's time to wake up!
