7 AM comes too fuckin early.
Midnight comes too. There is homework to do, better hurry.
7 AM again, alarm is blaring. Get out of bed lazy bones it is time for work.
Midnight’s back already. Finish that essay and do it right because after work that paper is due.
7 AM once more. Trade your dreams for a shower, your pajamas for a uniform, and a slipper for a boot.
Midnight passed long ago but you’re still reading. Your head needs your pillow like a bard needs his lute.
7 AM already?! Did you even go to sleep and what happened in last night’s class?
Midnight shows its face. Study for that test and you know that you will pass.
7 AM. BUZZ! Shower, coffee, uniform, boots, work, school and remember to keep your head.
Midnight comes and goes. Go make up with your neglected bed.
7 AM is back but this time it’s ok. Let it go and get back to sleep. You’ve done your job and you went to school. You have earned this rest. Seriously, go ahead.
