sleep now.nnor maybe you forgot how to close your eyes.nnwho are you fooling by keeping them open?nnyou've been awake days and days and you get jake...nnnna steamed-off stamp, coffeeshakes and eye-strain from the desk lamp.nnstill you feel you have to prove yourself.nninvalid without some form of appraisal.nnnncoaster brakes, rusty spokes and old mistakes.nnit's your bike to look at but not to ride.nnand the days roll by.nnnnit seems to me these days that your life is fitting like the kind of dress you wouldn't be caught dead in.nni guess if i was a girl i'd hate myself too-nnthe way all of the ones who ought to know better do.nnnnso polish your ride- who are you trying to please?nnsure it shines but you missed another day to seize.
