BE CAUTIOUS


BE CAUTIOUS

Talking
In my
Sleep
I spill
Secrets
I ought
To keep. 

So wrong
To myself 
I thought
As I 
Decided 
To keep
Awake
Night and
Day 

Drinking
Coffee
To remain
Alert 
Became
My mission...

How long
Itd work
I didn't 
Know
But I just
Drank
Cup after
Cup
Until my
Head hurt,
Eyes burned
And body
Yearned
To stretch...

Secrets
Had to
Be kept
Though
So I have
Been awake 
For many
Long
Years...

If you 
See me,
Don't approach.
To talk 
Or I.may,
From
All the pent
Up energy 
Punch
Your face
Off!
