Morning Body Check

'Morning body check' As slowly wake full body check Stomach churning Stabbing neck Eye lids flicker Heart rate quicker Hips are quaking Weak legs shaking Head fills with the power of freight Feeling sick now Arms dead weight Try to force me on my toes But 'ha' it laughs, seems body knows There's no strength left from painful night Nowt left in me to bring the fight Body heavy feels like lead Another daytime lost to bed As eyesight fades From restless daze Can't seem to move From 'neath the haze 'Morning body check' ~ by Victoria Payne ~ July 2016
