Dear 4:46AM

So...4:46 AM. We meet again. I don't know why you like to see me like this. My hair is a mess. My mouth is dry. I have pimple medicine on my face to rid it of my new friend, Rudy the zit, who is very nicely situated on my brow line. And worst of all...I'm not wearing any earrings!
I can't count how many times I've seen you and had this overwhelming rush of disappointment charge through my body like the Immortals did the soldiers in 300. My mind jumps from 0 to 60 in .3 seconds and now I'm thinking about someone who most likely isn't thinking about me and is definitely ASLEEP right now. Why do you torture me like this?
What am I supposed to do at this hour? The only thing available right now are slurpees and you know I'm trying to cut back. There's no beautiful sunrise for me to gaze at. No friend for me to call. Did you know that I live with people now and if I go around banging pots and pans in the kitchen I'd wake them up and never hear the end of it? Do you want me to fight people?
Yes, I thank you for waking me from a bad dream every now and then, like you did tonight. But most of the time, you just do it for no reason! And then I'm here. Alone in my bed. Awake with my thoughts. Frustrated, a little agitated, and sleepy.
So 4:46 AM. Until I'm making money with you or at least cuddling making gangsta rap videos when you decide to show up, Stay away from me. You don't treat me right and I can't take this kind of abuse. Leave me alone. I'd rather be with your friend 7:30 AM anyway. He treats me right and can offer me good things like breakfast and by the time he shows up, I've had more sleep. And I think I love him. I've never wanted to be with any other time, like I want to be with 7:30 AM, especially since you started showing up around here.
He and I only have a problem when you're in the hood...or suburb.
Find someone who will treat you right and appreciate you. Someone who will give you everything you need in this time zone. I know you're good for someone, but that someone ain't me. And in the words of Angela Bassett as Katherine Jackson in The Jacksons: An American Dream, "nooooo I don't wan'cha...I don't wan'cha, I don't wan'cha, I don't wan'cha no mo'!"
Sincerely,
Me
