Rush
30 minutes
To turn in
300 missing assignments
1 hour of a nap
To turn into
6 hours of sleep
It’s midnight
Where you’re a fool
To still think
You’re going to do
Something
You don’t have the guts
To do what you’ve promised
And so
You stay up
I’ll do it at
1 am
1:30
2 am
3:30
4 am
And eventually
It’s 7
Despite the fact
You’ve been awake
You somehow manage
To be late all the time
To the point
You don’t care anymore
But there’s still that rush
When you wake up
Realizing you’ve overslept
And part of you
Still believes
That you can do
Something
