Teens can't sleep
To teens, sleep is a divine treasure
A good night's rest is a rare pleasure
Often robbed and taken away We stay up all night till we reach the day
Grumbling and groaning as time moves on
We try our best to suppress our yawns
We’re told to rest early so we don’t sleep too late
Yet hormones stip away that fate
So night by night we get no sleep
Trying not to make a peep
As adults rest their sleepy heads
Safe and sound in their beds
About this poem
It has been scientifically proven that teens bodies need rest at a different time than adults but school still forces us to stick to an adults sleep schedule. this just leads to teens running on 2 hrs of sleep
