I will not fall asleep.

I'd rather resemble a ghost, 

pale and thin and shaking, 

Eyes bloodshot and vision fuzzy,

Fingers twitching uncontrollably around lifeless air,

Than succumb to sleep. 

With instant coffee and syrupy energy drinks as my defense, 

I battle sleep, 

Death's counselor,

For as long as i can before my limbs give out and my beaten body betrays me
