Like A Marathon

Sometimes I don't... Sleep. Sometimes I don't... Rest. Or eat like I should. Because I stay up all night writing. Sometimes I don't... Drink, Water... Like I oughta! I smoke too many cigarettes. Trying to match lines, With concepts that don't mesh. And I get up to shower in my own protest. Cursing myself because I am not at my best! Sometimes I don't... Sleep. Sometimes I don't... Rest. Or eat like I should. Because I stay up all night writing. Like a marathon I alone fight to win! Until I decide I have earned my approval.
