Here is the prompt:

It does not feel real

(a glow in the dark)

*

No one is really up now

(green and red light lined up)

*

This is when you go to bed

(look at it; take a peek)

*

This is when you have to sleep

(let it stay in your head)

*

Not a time for transition

(many hours before you rise)

*

Should think…or not think

(too long before I get to it)

*

Wish I had a silent mind

(maybe I need to write)

*

The challenge is stuck in my head

(the screen light hurts my eyes)

The Bard knew...

*
