10pm:
Sleepy. Sluggish. But I must finish this. I have to.
11pm:
Can't sleep. Tossing and turning, I count in my head; but no avail.
12am:
Reached a thousand and ten, sung a million songs in my head. Can't get up coz mom will just send me back.
1am:
All the world's problems rush into my head.
I'm itching to read a book, but I don't think mom's asleep yet. I refrain.
2am:
I grab my book and get lost in another world.
4am:
The book's over. I grab my phone, open Instagram and scroll aimlessly.
5.30am:
Mom gets up. I'm back in bed, pretending to be asleep.
7am:
I arise. The night is finally over.
