DEADLINE
by Wyatt Gant
I need to finish, I'm not done... Can't slow down, can't have fun... I'm tired, it must be midnight...
I can't stop, can't douse the light...
No, everything's not fine...
Oh no, here comes the deadline...
What am I doing, trying so hard...
My sleep schedule, I disregard...
I need my sleep, I should stop... Compared to others, my work is slop...
Now listen as I pout and whine... About this awful deadline...
I'm getting sleepy, it's almost due... Speaking of coffee, I've had two...
I need to sleep, I'm slacking off... Failing to keep my spirits aloft...
60
I sliding down a steep incline... I need to beat my deadline...
Why am I trying, I need to rest... Never have I faced a greater test... I'm typing fast, I'm in a hurry... My hands are flying in a flurry...
My prowess is on a steep decline... I'm about to miss my deadline...
Any stability I may have had...
It's all gone, this is bad...
I'm actually about to pass out...
I'm having a large scale creative drought...
As I try to make a good design... I think I missed my deadline...
