Part of me will always be glad
I did not take a pill
This time
Withstood the chronic surge
Of pounding pain
Beating me down to submission
I was told to inhale deep
Exhale with exaggeration
Force chakra to turn
And in return
I sleep early like a school kid
Only to wake up
Pitch black before dawn
As with any schooler
Excited for the field trip
Or cramming for a deadline
Depriving sleep
Or maybe this
Is mamba mentality
Kicking in
Or kicking me
Into the direction of purposeful hunger
Desire
I’ve yet to define
Or too lazy to actually find out
When you’re losing sleep
You’d better be gaining something worth more than your health
And I end up thinking about how to spend
Money I don’t have
To train me to curb my impulse
On the day I do
