“Winners wake up early”- when such headlines I read
I have a sinking feeling- there’s no way I can succeed
If that is indeed true, because the thought
Of waking up early makes me distraught
If I woke up early, I would wither away
I am certain, before I hit mid-day
Spend my afternoon in a foggy state
And not be able to stay up late
Thus losing my most productive time of the day
When I can work in solitude, in my quirky
way
The hours between nine p.m. and midnight
Are when I get all my ideas bright
To wake up early I would have to sleep earlier too
And that is something I am just not willing to do..
*
If I am forced out of my bed early
I try to charge myself on strong coffee
That gives me a boost of nervous energy
But affects my concentration negatively
Thus I doubt my performance would be up to the mark
If I (reluctantly) woke up with the lark..
*
I don’t wake up early and a winner I may not be
But I’m convinced I wouldn’t win by waking up early
So let me clock in enough hours of sleep
And my schedule of late nights and late mornings keep
Passion...unbridled
