2:30 am.....My New Best Friend











2:30 am is my new best friend
I did not choose him, he chose me

2:30 is a petulant child and very selfish
Standing by the edge of the bed
Staring at me until I wake up

When I am stubborn and continue to sleep
2:30 am stares harder
nudging the bed
clearing his throat
willing me to open my eyes and acknowledge him

2:30 am is a brat
He is not happy unless we are both looking at one another saying What now?
He is exhausting and restless nudging at me when he sees that I am nodding off

2:30 am is bored easily
He is always plotting and planning and thinking aloud
repeating his argument
talking of the what if's and when I's

2:30 am does not enjoy the time that he has
He longs for a time when he is older and wiser and really gets to live life
chattering about better times

2:30 am is never happy until he finally grows older, but not wiser
thrilled when asked
because he finally gets to say
I am 3:30 am.........
