An Ode to Night Owls

It is 12:47,
I should have been in bed by eleven.
Staying up late is easy,
Getting up early makes me queasy.
Sure, I get up at 8:30,
But where's the joy in going to bed early?
"You'll regret it tomorrow,"
My rational side hisses
"Tell it to my lawyer!
"It's what heart wishes!"
I will stay up for hours,
Watching my favorite show,
Nothing will stop me!
Sleep, I don't know!
My eyelids are drooping,
My head is stooping,
Signs to go to bed?
Nah! I'll just keep on looping.
12:47 has passed,
2:00 AM is here,
Goodbye morning happiness,
Hello angry sneer.
Night owl,
It is what I am named,
My spirit is restless,
Refusing to be tamed.
