Night
Shift

Here I am
keeping company with the night
Wondering how
long it'll be before daylight
Time ticking
by as I move around
The TV in the
background is the only sound
Sometimes I
find the time moving too slow
Other times I
wonder where did it all go
One moment I
get sleepy and feel so tired
Another
moment I catch my second wind and start to perspire
I start
moving so fast that I lose track of time
Exerting all
my strength as energy flows through my spine
Food that I
had eaten converts to energy I can use
Mind over
matter in whatever choices I choose
I switch into
a mode that only I can feel
I'm making
good time but it seems so unreal
Before I even
know it, it's time for me to go
It sure did
come fast, when it started out so slow
