I
In the middle of the night
with just a flicker of light
my eyes just kept on blinking
while staring at the ceiling
What am I even thinking?
I can't think of anything
my mind is completely blank
why? I am not even drunk
The clock’s steadily ticking
I even hear my breathing
even my head is throbbing
and my heart kept on pounding
My bedsheet kept on rustling
I've been tossing and turning
I've reached for the bedside lamp
heard my book dropped with a thump
Got up and reached for the book
been reading gobbledygook
perhaps a glass of warm milk?
maybe this will do the trick
My empty glass on the sink
I sat on a couch and think
best to watch some Netflix shows
Bridgerton's good I suppose
I was in episode four
when the rooster outside crowed
already the break of dawn
oh my! I got up and yawned
I went for a quick shower
put on my blouse and trouser
I'll buy donut and coffee
at work, I can't be sleepy
