Salt And Vinegar

I'm wide awake one midnight
Restless and curious of the world around me
Got out of bed to set my cold feet free
I look down at the darkness below
My spilled glass of water seeps through the cracks to flow
A midnight breath whips around my room
Full of disappointment and weariness but I know how to stay cool
The floor stabs me with ice
The pain will never suffice
Making my hairs stand on end
Both feet touch the wooden Inn

Slowly turning the knob,
A burst of cold air consumes me
To the left and to the right
The dark hallways fill me with freight
My stomach howls like a wolf
I run to the kitchen without looking back and as fast as I could
I always hated that never existing threat
But as usual, nothing happens and did it without breaking a sweat.
I turn on the artificial stars.
Looking at my calender with a photo of Mars.
Today is the day I say to myself
The day of my best friend Yato birthday
I've known him ever since our 1st year of middle school
He was always kind of cool
But at times a little nerdy.

Still tired, I drone across the floor
Finding my midnight snacks.. If there is even more
Slamming the cabinet with my face full of chips
All the powder and salt fall onto my lips
I'm thinking about what should I get him this year
And yes I always wait when someone's birthday is near
Pure laziness and procrastination
I'm glad I don't do this when I work on my animations

"I WALK A LONELY ROAD THE ONLY ONE THAT IVE EVER KNOWN!!"
*chip bag drops*
"Ah shit who is it!?" I shout for some reason.

"DONT KNOW WHERE IT GO"-- Hello? I say in a calm manner

"Oh hey Ms.Yamoto. Sorry for calling so late. We need you to do the finishing touches on the new episode of "Sarorian Sapphires". It will be published in 2 days. Your animation team needs you. Once again, sorry for interrupting your "you" time." My boss remarks again.
"Oh its fine Mr. Shigiri. I will be up there in no time....*hopefully I guess*" I whisper.
Mr. Shigiri takes a 3 second pause and then starts to speak again...maybe he heard me?
"Well again wle need you. You're one of the best animators we got. See you soon Ms. Yamoto...BEEP!

OH MA SPAGHETTI MONSTER!! I shout into the void which is my house.
"Looks like I'm not going back to sleep" I shamelessly whisper.

I see my dropped bag of salt and vinegar chips
I every so slowly pick up the dropped bag...I'm sad now
I'm pretty sure I eat just like a cow
The cotaminated crumbs meet their demise in my trash bin
What am I talking about? There just crumbs.
