Problems
We all have seemingly insignificant problems (ex: a drive through burger place forgot to make my fries), so give me a short poem about one of these small tragedies. Have fun, the little problems count too!

The day has come to an end

And I drift off into the land of sleep

But wait- Somethings wrong

What is it I hear? A song?

A never ending tune

To keep me awake all night long

I won't let the melody win

So I lift up my chin

And now my chest

And with a heave- all the rest!

Now I'm standing

Now I'm on my feet

Be careful

Don't wake anyone up

Just creep on your tip toes

And be careful

Wake up! Stop walking in a doze

Go to the kitchen

Fill a cup of water

What the devil?

What's that noise?

Quick! Turn the faucet off!

Listen

Is anyone awake?

No. I'm safe

Forget about the water

The song is over

I feel calm and sober

It's time for sleep

Go through the hallway

What did I step on?

It's not water

It's not blood

Is it- Please let it be blood

But of course its not

Its piss

The dog has peed in front of my room

Again

I look down and remember

I'm wearing socks

I open my mouth

And scream

"FUCK"

Slowly, a door creaks

My knees go weak

Now I'm in trouble

Is it mendable?

A body exits the room

He turns and looks at me

With one look I answer my question

No. It is not
