“No Sleep”
By Ashley O’Hare
I don’t want to sleep tonight–
there is too much to do.
I cannot rest my eyes
until I reach chapter two.
If I don’t push myself
I’ll be stuck here forever.
this life won’t get any better
unless I put in the effort.
I’ve got my schedule printed out–
I’m fully booked all week.
Until my to-do list dwindles,
I won’t feel like me.
So let me make my tea
and get a jolt of caffeine.
If I keep moving forward
this will be over soon.
