Sleep is for the weak
Power through it
The escape is unwarranted

Give it a shot
Get under the influence
In congruence  
With the waking mind

Do you feel it?
No?
Keep going.

Caffeine, caffeine, sugar and caffeine
The underlying emotions
Unseen

Ouch
Do you feel that?
The devotion
Erosion
Do you hear that?
The commotion?
Boom.
The explosion?

The thoughts, heart
Eternal

Head heavy
Stay calm and steady
It’s just gravity

Get down.
Down down down
Drown
Why the frown?
Can you feel the water rising?
Slowly, menacing, suffocating?
Smile
Come on
Close your eyes
You just need a little compromise

Push harder
Faster
Stronger
Endure.
Sleep is for the weak.
When you really need to sleep, but deadlines are looming and you can't afford to...
