5 AM by Emma Eaton

"5am.

A cup of coffee on the desk.
A cigarette in one hand
and a pencil in the other,
writing down everything that comes into mind,
so it's empty to fill with everything
that comes the next day.

Insomnia sucks.

Nothing to do but sit and wonder.
and contemplate everything that I can't sort out during the day
because there's too much going on.

It's amazing how many thoughts you can fit
into a little girl's mind.

So I continue to sit,
staring out of the window,
as the first morning bird starts to wake,
and I write,
so my mind is once again clear,
ready to take on the next day..

Insomnia sucks,
but it does have its perks."
