sleep is for the weak, they said

tight schedules

and deadlines galore

wheres my poetry hour

am i allowed to feel more?

 

is there time to cry

or to stare out the window

to write bad poetry

and dress like a *****

 

can i just please

be silly, be young

play with animals,

and sometimes get drunk?

 

i brought this on myself

that is true, indeed

but can you really blame me

for wanting to succeed?
