1 A.M.
April 5, 2015
Nothing gets done at 1 AM
No homework is finished
No bolts are tightened
No hearts are broken
Nothing gets started at 1 AM
No opening paragraphs are written
No foundations are laid
No hands are held
Nothing hurts at 1 AM
No cuts bleed
No failure shames
No silence stings
And yet we are alive at 1 AM
We keep plugging uselessly ahead
We smile to keep from frowning
We laugh to keep from crying
Because no one should be awake
At 1 AM
