Hiding

working all night

till my sockets fall in

drink some coffee

keep me awake

I need to not sleep

40 more to go

I am almost to the finish line

coffee is too hot

burn my lip tonight

this makes no sense

well glad to know

If I put my head down

the dreams can find me

I have to stay hidden 

I will keep my head up 

HIGH

my mother sleeps on my bed

my father sleeps in his bed

my brother runs on a treadmill 

I sit here working 

Studying

because I need to be smart

 I need to make them proud 

the one sleeping on my bed

the one sleeping on theirs

the one running away from fat

I have to keep them proud

I am a smart ass

One with ignorance

I must decrease that ignorance

for them

but partly for me

so now I hide from dreams

sitting here 

and studying all night
