The images are strong. I have a student who is much like this, writing in the wee hours because her mind is always thinking. It's both a blessing and a curse.

I can just imagine your home-totally dark, except for the soft glow of your lamp; totally quiet, except for the quiet scribble of you pencil. <br /><br />I love how you used a picture of the numbers of your alarm clock ( with numbers people don't typically see!) to describe the late hour. Neat!<br /><br />I love how you have clearly communicated your need to write (how your pencil kept going despite your body feeling exhausted), and how you could only turn off your mind after you let the "buzzing" words escape from your mind on to the paper. I don't know why, but the word "preserve" really jumped out at me. It makes me feel like your thoughts were precious and that you didn't want to risk losing them by falling asleep. <br /><br />So much to love about this poem! And now I know how you always get so much done...you don't sleep!
