She's a willing insomniac who stays up all night.
Accompanied by darkness in those hours,
she seeks inspiration from the stars and the moon.
The moment light filters in through the curtains,
she crawls back to her futon, safe under her covers
and cradled in the solace of the sleep she loves most.
She sleeps the whole morning through,
and stays in that place where her daydreams come alive
in a slumber which lasts for at least 10 hours.
In her waking moments, an insatiable craving lingers.
The guilty chocoholic in her succumbs to the dark sweetness
that melts divinely in her tongue.
She huggles her pets and feeds all of them,
she wants to adopt more animals but her mother said "no."
"Four chickens and twelve dogs are enough," she'd always say.
The afternoon is ripe, and she goes nextdoor
where her one year old niece is awake and dancing to some songs.
When the time for Sharrie's siesta comes, she goes on back home.
She turns on the television and settles on disney channel.
Lion King is showing, and once Mufasa lies dying,
she too feels young Simba's pain and cries with the cub.
Of course, the sun has to step aside for the night,
and consequently, dusk follows suit.
And she too retires to her solitary room
where she pens all her thoughts in her trusted diary,
from a barely existent love to the troubles in her course,
and even those miniscule things that has transpired that day.
Then, she goes online and buzzes claude, her bestfriend.
The two of them would talk until the wee hours of the morning,
when the sunlight is filling the room with its soft glow.
That signifies the start of her everyday ritual,
which she begins with a fitful 10-hour slumber
and a trip to that place where her daydreams are lived.
Author notes
YES, i do start my days SLEEPING, and i DO look forward to sleep.. 
(btw, a futon is like a mattress 
my sister and i don't have a bed since my dad thought we'd be moving to our other house early so he got rid of our old ones and promised us a new one... WHEN we move 
it still aint finished, hehe )
i honestly found this extremely hard to do. i don't normally write ABOUT myself, just my feelings generally. i guess it's partly because i think i understand and know my emotions and thoughts more than i know myself.
i used the 3rd person perspective when i referred to myself, since i found it easy "pretending" to be someone observing me as i go about my usual daily habits
this whole piece is awkward for me. i am not particularly happy with it 
but then again, i consider it as a diamond in the rough, and with a little polishing, i think it'd be ok enough for my standards i'm sorry if this sounds forced or rush, but really, right now, without the comfortable ambiance of my room, this is all i can do x.x
anyway, thanks for reading!

great
i really like this poem.. it shows that you are not afraid to write about yourself... i think that i write about myself too much and it makes my life seem boring... but you have captured yourself in a way i could never do. -
"where she pens all her thoughts in her trusted diary,
from a barely existent love to the troubles in her course,"

Nice work soda! Maybe it isn'to one of your best, but it is extremely hard to write about yourself. Really, really hard. So I thought you did a great job on this!! I liked the description of the chocolate!!
