11:01
and I'm still wide awake
thoughts weighing heavy
on my mind
I'm trapped in a state of confusion
blind to everything around me
focusing on the task at hand
fresh out of idea's
my mind's telling me to give up
yet something deep down
is telling me
to push forward
if I can accomplish this
a great deal of pressure
will be lifted from my shoulders
if I cannot
I'm going to have
a hard time
falling asleep
on this beautiful night
all I can do
is sit wide awake
at now, 11:09
and try to write a poem
