Six Am Sorrows

BEEP BEEP! BEE— *click* Am I awake? No. BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP! BEEP! BEE— FINE! Crawling out of my pillow fort. Eyes crusty. Yawn across my face. I fall and Hit the ground. I’M AWAKE! Shuffling steps lead to the bathroom. Dilating pupils hide from the obnoxious fluorescent rays. These days are grueling. Peeking out the window, eyes whimper to return to that comforting home of darkness and serenity. Pitter patter. Pitter patter. The mocking voice of rain calls me back to the unconscious realm I crave, knowing I have responsibilities. I hesitate to decide. Only five more minutes. It replies, swaying my thoughts. But five minutes turn into 10. Then 20. Can you afford that? No. The day will not hesitate to abandon your procrastinating presence. So swallow your six a.m. sorrows And wake up.

Kailyn, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
