Draw a bird. Name ten things you’re looking forward to. Write about who or what or where is home to you... Scribbled Pleas is a book of lyrics by singer-songwriter Mia Stegner, filled with unique prompts designed to inspire creative expression and self-reflection. A storyteller at heart, author Mia Stegner views songwriting as an avenue to ask questions, seek answers, and ponder both personal and collective pieces of the human experience.

“This song is essentially my attempt at a lullaby. The lyrics are a celebration of sleepiness, but they also hint at the frustration of knowing it becomes less of a pleasure and more of a burden the more you have to fight it. Being a teenager automatically seems to make you tired a lot of the time, but beyond that, mental health and a finicky thyroid have added to the equation for me. Fatigue is a battle, and most of the time it’s worth fighting, but I’ve learned that sometimes it’s okay to surrender for a little while.” -@MiaStegner on Instagram, 2/13/19
lyrics
I am in my bed
And I don't want to leave
My alarm has gone off twice now
But I stay here choosing to believe
That maybe if I just keep still
For a few more fuzzy moments
Then time will turn back and I’ll get more
Hours to stay right here
Heavy, heavy, heavy
All the way from my head to my toes
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
The weight that I feel only grows
Soft heartbeats lull me back to sleep
Despite the light through the window that I choose not to see
It’s soft and it’s quiet. I’m tired and I’m snug
I move an inch and only fall further into the warm hug
And a cat is on top of me
Which multiplies the weight by three
Heavy, heavy, heavy
All the way from my head to my toes
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
The weight that I feel only grows
Snooze and snooze and snooze and snooze
Lose and lose and lose and lose
And lose...
In the the race to the worm
So I don’t get the prize, because I slept through sunrise
But I’m not a bird, and as you may have heard
I don’t eat worms for breakfast because that would be absurd
Heavy, heavy, heavy
All the way from my head to my toes
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
The weight that I feel only grows
To the table, I will be late
All the others already ate
But the world, and my stomach, can wait
Just let me close my eyes
And feel the heavy weight
Of sleep’s sweet bait
