I couldn’t sleep last night <br />I couldn’t sleep even an hour <br />I couldn’t sleep how hard I tried <br />With all my might and power <br />I remember being awake <br />Those eight hours I was alive <br />Ten, eleven, twelve, one <br />Two, three, four, five <br />I have ugly dark circles under my eyes <br />Now, how am I to go to school? <br />All I have to hope is that <br />My classmates think it’s cool!<br /><br />Risha Ahmed (12 yrs)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/105-dark-circles-are-cool/
