A Gaze Through My Reality-scope

Before the clock strikes midnight

11:30 p.m, the hour grows later,

a woman drives speedily home expecting the sleep that awaits her,

a man makes sure his kids are tucked in and fast asleep,

and it seems the whole world dare not make a peep,

yet one guy still carries on,

unimpressed with the lateness of the hour or the approach of dawn,

this has been me recently,

as I've realized that I am free,

a high school graduate just waiting for the ceremony,

nothing else can concern me,

though I have many worries and things to do,

scholarship and work hunting as well as colleges to apply to,

life hasn't played out as I planned,

but I still have been dealt a good hand,

just sometimes I wish I could cry,

so that there would be less twinkle in my eye,

so that maybe I could look deserving of a pity party,

and escape the stress of worrying about things that matter very little to me,

so as you can see, it is as always is,

life being advised what is best and using my time unwisely because I'm a wiz.
