Notes to Self IV

Hello! This is The Deranged Writer, and welcome to the 4th edition of Notes to Self, a blogging series where I remember a relevant quote from any form of media or someone I know in real life.

In the previous edition of Notes to Self, I quoted my favorite Doctor from the longest-running sci-fi TV show Doctor Who, The Eleventh Doctor. And in this edition, I’m quoting him once again.

Spoiler warning if you have not seen the Doctor Who Christmas special “The Time of The Doctor”.

Morning, Nocturnal

“5 more minutes please”,
the nocturnal struggles.
Pillows give me ease.
Laziness has doubled.

Then I remember
the bills haunting like wraiths.
Enough of slumber.
The working day awaits.
