I don’t sleep enough
I stay up till late every night
Cause it’s the one time
That I can be myself
Without worrying about judging peers
Without worrying about overachieving parents
Without worrying about younger siblings tracking my every move
Waiting for me to slip up
Waiting for something, anything
That they can use against me
Instead of dealing with all that,
I’m a coward
I avoid it
I wait till no one’s awake,
Then I let all my feelings out
