Alter Ego

I asked my alter ego
Why I’m so tired today?
It says that’s not illegal 
Stay tired if you may
I said but I don’t need to
I want some energy
And you don’t seem to do
Any support for me
My alter ego smiled
Calm down you naughty boy
The reason you are tired
Is what you should enjoy
Your working days are over
And everyday’s the same
Your time is going slower
Your thinking’s getting lame
When with a glass of wine in hand
You let the music flow
You’ve lots of energy, my friend
For what you need to know
You’re rolling in exuberance 
Filled up with dopamine
And in this dream so many lives
You lived, and still you’re in.
