Nights Like This




I want to sleep but my mind is running like a wildfire.

I flip open my books, armed with highlighters but my brain refuses to give leeway to any knowledge i attempt to shove into the gray matter.

The room is spotless from last night's cleaning spree.

I wish to be home. Family a glance away. The idiotbox blaring. The alley cat stretching on my sofa seat. Sweltering weather. But I'm miles away and I know what needs to be done.

How frustrating.
