why at one in the morning?

stomach rumbling

mind racing

insomnia has checked in

and buddy aint moving out any time soon

looking at the pile of articles i need to read

to finally complete this paper

and i turn to this thing instead

my central time zone spiritual sista

left my mind in a frenzy

and has me wondering what the HELL am i doing

and why am i letting it happen

where is my voice

why is the enemy

better known as my cell phone

talking to me after one in the morning

to ask me am i sleep

at ONE in the morning

why are you asking me

how you can become my favorite

if you were meant for that position

you would be already doing what it requires

and your name would be one office door

how can i began to replace the irreplaceable

why are you trying to build a time machine

you can't take back the past

and as much as i've grown

i can forgive

but the scars on my heart won't let me forget

why do i underbid during spades games

why are you trying to be something that you are not

why are you trying to force something that is not there

why can't you follow directions

am i really asking for that much

why did my mother ask me

if my heart has grown cold

why don't you understand

i'm not pushing anymore

it is what it is
