As I Woke.

Speechless as I sat 
              the chill that called this day 
                                   Dec. the 3rd 2008
                                             a day that found me as I sat,
with a bit of an attitude 
              as I awoke body sore
                                   hands swollen and red
                                             findings of an attitude
no smile today as before
               not sure what holds it back
                                    just can't bring one around
                                                 can't find it today as before
I shake it off best I can
                first my head then my hands
                                     yet my body is still sore
                                                   6:30 am being the best I can
a head the day holds unknown
                yet I couldn't sleep or just lay there
                                     I got up trying to sees the day
                                                   and knowing the day holds unknown 
 here I sat with shattered words
                 trying to finds myself today
                                    hoping to smile and just be
                                                     head full with shattered words.
