last night

last night
was the
first night
that i went
to sleep
before most
or at least
hours
before
i normally
do

being tired
just isnt
something that
im used to

and even
if exhaustion
strikes
i cannot
or never
give in

its usually
2 or 3
in the
morning
the world
is quiet

i can
finally
shut my
eyes
one
by
one

as the
few
hours
of sleep
beg to
hold on
to my
body

i awake
with a
start
at the
ringing
of my
alarm

struggle
through
the day
to look
alert
and feel
alive

i drink
my coffee
take
my nap
need
some
daily
shut eye

BUT

last night
was the
first night
that i went
to sleep
before most
or at least
hours
before
i normally
do
