I am not here
I am not there
At this point, my brain feels like it’s going no where
I’m too groggy to think
Too tired to care
I just want my bed and pillow
The hell with the end zone
My soul, however, wants something quite different
It screams let’s finish this, you dip shit
It bullies the brain with memories of never finishing what we started
The brain begins to cry, it is fainthearted
The soul pokes the brain and calls it a quitter
The bitter brain beats about
While the spritely spirit stomps and shout
Meanwhile, my body is full of caffeine rage
Muttering under its breath to all shut the fuck up and stay the hell awake
Love, love, LOVE THIS
thanks Amanda
Ah, I’ve been there. I have the comfort of being a 1/2 marathoner who’s now complete, but I’ve experienced this frustration other times. The beauty in this is that you wrote it, and we readers can relate even if separated just a bit. Keep going!
Thank you Janin. I am just looking forward to some real sleep.
