this Thing i wrote at 2 am

Summary:

A short little poem I'm sure all of us sleepless creative types will relate to: facing, head-on, the monstrous mess of a sorry excuse for a body of work that can just barely be classified as "literature" that you created while hyped up on caffeine at 2 in the morning.

This is by no means based on personal experience.

Work Text:

in the haze of sleep deprivation

i wrote this Thing, an abomination

a cacophony of nonsense streaming

from my mind, halfway to dreaming

 

in the light and clarity of early morn

i’m face-to-face with what last night was born

crusted, sandy eyes snap wide awake

when rereading this Thing that I did make

 

the culprit was a burst of inspiration

coupled with a dash of motivation

but creativity must be plied responsibly

yet still I wrote, unchecked with my frivolity.
