A convention of the night..
sleep
but no-one told the day
and it wont go away
and let me rest.
At the very best
my thoughts retreat
for a mere peep
at unconsciousness.
Then awakened,
stress and fret,
until
daylight lets itself in again
less I lie and forget.
SLEEP

Hello, Lori
Did you mean to use the archaic expression "lest" where you have "less"?
"won't" rather than "wont"?
"wake" rather than "woke"?
