Description
Here I lie,not quite awake.
I've things to do,
beds to make.
But Sleep won't release me
from its grip.
Its numbing clutches
I cannot flip.
Far from dead
but I don't feel alive,
I fight with myself
as the minutes roll by.
"Just get out of bed,"
my conscious mind screams,
but I cannot pull myself
from this dream!
Oh, what is this curse
lain upon me?
I'm caught between worlds-
Sleep, set me free!

This is my every morning. The first stanza flows well, you might want to revise the rest to follow the same meter. Or not
