A Poem for 1 AM

Written by

in

Zombie brain started just about an hour ago
That means all decisions are indecisions
Or at least that’s what should be so

No man is as productive at 1 AM as at 10
I struggle to think clearly now
Though I swear I’m focused on the task at hand

Just minutes more til I break the omnipotence barrier
We all seem to know more about everything
Temptations become a blare in your ear

Your muscles have stiffened up, you discover
As you adjust in your seat, in front of your monitor
You now feel uncertain, and shudder:

Should I have gone to bed hours ago and chosen sleep over an exam, a paper, my ego, straining for that higher grade – or any grade at all?
