I was just trying to sleep!

Devon Bates 1980 (Norfolk)

Free verse
I was just trying to sleep!
 I get why I do not want any more kids I hate to beef!
 People worry about non scene then get mad when others disagree!
 I'd rather have a warm day at the lake!
With a life more suited for me!
 I had to find some way to have peace!
They scream we're all the same in a way, still all I can do is say go away and truthfully disagree!
 It would have been nice when served a slice of death to just disagree!
 Your allergy's I do not want or need!
