It's 2am and here I am again, guilty as sin

With donuts and a cup of coffee to dip them in

I only woke to pee and now look at me

I'm catching a second wind

I am my own worst enemy

I should have gone right back to bed

But I chose to watch TV instead

Tomorrow my eyes will be trimmed in red

and I won't make sense of what's being said

I don't know why I do this s#%t

Yet alas here I sit,

eyes wide open, tablet in hand,

I do my best work between 2 and 3 am!

My internal clock is all off wack

I can't seem to get it back

I really am tired as hell

I pray tomorrow no one can tell

I didn't sleep well, heck I didn't sleep at all

I guess I'm in it for the long haul!
