Those Initial Moments of Awake

I awaken to an infernal buzz Sore mouth, dry lips and teeth filled with fuzz It’s not the noise that causes harm But more the sudden awakening caused by the alarm Gingerly I walk outside My friends caffeine and nicotine by my side I take one of my friends and give him a spark A bright flame appears amidst the dark As I consume my friends thoughts come to hand Body soon will be able to comfortably stand A vibrant energy comes over me With an intense feeling of needing to pee I am now ready to shower and get dressed Shirt needs to be ironed and strides pressed But first I’ll have one more hit of nicotine And another cup of caffeine To the shower I head Am attempted to lie down when I walk past my bed The water is rather cold The tiles dewy with a little mould By the time the water is warm I am finished The energy once had is now diminished I dry myself off and get dressed Didn’t iron the shirt and my pants will do not pressed To the kitchen I go For a piece of toast and glass of Milo I scoff these down like there’s no tomorrow As the hiccups and indigestion follow I head outside for one last puff Even though I know I have consumed more than enough A throbbing pain and numbness appears in my head Stuff this I’m going back to bed Thankfully it’s the weekend and nothing I will miss will cause harm Actually, why in the hell did I set my alarm With the thought of lost sleep I begin to ever so slightly weep I just hope I can continue that dream I had If I can’t I will settle for sleep and not be mad So I guess it is good night again or sleep tight When I awake it will hopefully be night
