The blue light thrums gently, fingers tapping away at keys
You know you should be asleep but you won’t
Your days are spent logging hours at your job
But your nights?
They are yours. You’ll do everything you wished and wanted
But you always end up paying the same price each morning
The one thing that’s out of reach… enough sleep
So instead you joke to your colleagues your a nocturnal animal
But you both know it’s not true
They’re just as bleary eyed, after the second coffee, as you
Prompt: Nocturnal Animal
