{non-fiction} Waiting for Midnight


I wait here alone in my room with the door locked and the lights turned off. My family thinks I’m asleep but in reality I’m wide awake, waiting for the clock to strike midnight. Something I shouldn’t be doing all the time as I need to catch up with some sleep so my body would get some rest. but stubborn as I am I do it every single day, the main reason why when the clock strikes 6pm I tend to feel sleepy and before I know it I fall on my bed and sleep takes over.




Why do I wait all the time for the clock to strike midnight? Is it because of my messed up body clock? Am I waiting for something to happen? I myself am not quite sure how to answer that question. All I know is either I wait for midnight or I’ll wake up in the middle of the night just to see on my clock that it’s midnight, then I’ll go back to sleep.

I don’t know why. Is it just me anticipating a brand new day so much that I really have to wake up during the first hours of it? Or is there something bothering me inside that forces my body to wake up at night or which makes me wait for midnight every night.

I’m not even sure if I’m making sense right now so I might as well stop.
