eyelids kept drooping
yet I refused to sleep
because it's a Saturday
the only night of the week
which I don't have to make sure that
I must be awake by 6:30 am
I am quite an early riser, actually
but being forced to conform
doesn’t feel nice at all
I used to wake up at 5 to work out
but uni days are quite different of course
because I could actually take a nap
as early as 9 a.m. if
there was no morning class
everyday
it's so frustrating to
come home feeling so dead after work
mind tries to work something out
but body simply does not allow
by 11 I must be in bed
or else the lack-of-sleep signs
will keep haunting through the next day
unfortunately
I am such a light sleeper these days
probably I still haven’t got used to
room-sharing with total strangers
waking up every two hours
At 1, 3, 5 am to
check the time
there was this unfortunate night
during the 3 am check
I happened to notice mosquitoes
so I sat up to battle for awhile
yet it took me until 5am
i.e. the next sleep circle before
I could fall asleep again
and soon it was 6:30am
yesterday I slept at 2am
rushing on some freelance task
the 2-hour circle applies
woke up at 4am
to finish it up until 5am
and soon it was 6:39am
5 minutes to 8
well time to go
every morning
I walk so slowly because
there's this half dead soul
underneath the recharged body
every evening
I walk even slower because
there's an almost alive soul
trapped within a half-dead body
both feel so heavy
that I have such nausea
and it comes repeatedly
at such high frequency that
I choose to believe that
everyday is my worst ever Monday
so go ahead and face it
all I could ask for
is some good-night sleep
nightmare free,
mosquitoes free and
Jerk-from-sleep free
not too much I am asking for
Just sufficient strength
to carry on my days will do
being able to
see the sun rises and falls each day
