Hello Sarah, what are you staring at?
A funky blue nightlight? A glow in the dark hat?

All I can hear is snoring and tick-tock.
All I want to do is smash that old clock.

Why did my cousin have to visit from New York?
He is such a tennis-loving Princeton dork!

Now half of my summer was spent in my sister’s room,
It may look like a mess but it feels like a warm cocoon.

Even though it is so cozy up here
I still think that it is not fair.

She snores too loud and there’s makeup on the floor.
She gets angry when I don’t close the door.

I’m sitting here in the dark writing,
The only light I’m getting is from my iPod’s lighting.
