Don't Snooze or You'll Lose
Tick Tock. Tick Tock
As my life revolves around the same clock
With the hour hand spinning at the speed of light
It was clear these 24 hours have been a fight
A constant cycle of sleep, school, work, and back to sleep,
My eyes wide like an owl while the alarm goes beep beep beep
These designer bags under my eyes now go down deep
A never ending battle has begun
My brain has been fried and is now overdone
Stacks and stacks of layered work waiting to be done on my desk
I was beginning to feel overwhelmed as if this was an impossible quest
Countless nights encountered with self doubt
But I didn’t want to end up being a dropout
I became determined to get this straightened out
Here, I approach a new day and higher pay
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
Epiphany runs through my mind as I learn to break away
From all those unhealthy habits of checking my phone
I was ready to get in the zone and no longer postpone
Not willing to give up just yet,
I was ambitious and determined to have my mind set
Never allowing myself to stay distracted, I began subtracting
All these negative obstacles interfering
As I delve into a new habit, I begin to inhabit
The roles of George Washington’s Cabinet
Assisting myself while aiding others in need
This is where I begin to succeed
Yes indeed, indeed.
