Halfway there<\/p>\n
Like to think the worst is behind us<\/p>\n
Or below us<\/p>\n
Or under the bed where we cannot see<\/p>\n
But this is just that drop off point<\/p>\n
Where the sleepy give up<\/p>\n
And the die hards keep going<\/p>\n
Our brains have been mutated now<\/p>\n
The regular day to day<\/p>\n
Has been replaced by poet brain<\/p>\n
A strange beast for sure<\/p>\n
It rules from here on out<\/p>\n
As our eyes being to close<\/p>\n
Our shoulders begin to lean<\/p>\n
This is where we lose control<\/p>\n
We lose our critic<\/p>\n
Where we lose common sense<\/p>\n
!2 more hours<\/p>\n
Halfway point<\/p>\n
A milestone has come<\/p>\n
A milestone to go<\/p>\n
A monument to poetic perseverance<\/p>\n
And masochism.<\/p>\n
