Not even sure that I am awake
               Must get up for duty’s sake,
                   Stumble to the door
                        Not sure what I am there for.
                    Reason just won’t come.
               Maybe coffee will help some.
         The buzzing in my head ,
    It’s  just my tinnitus that I dread
               Not explaining - you cant hear it.
                   Trust me its vexatious to the spirit.
            Never stops just keeps going
   Sounds like a bathtub overflowing
     Need something to clear my brain,
            I think the room is spinning again.
                        Was I in someone’s arms last night ?
                 The vision is totally out of sight
            I remember clinging
        I seem to remember singing 
  Why did I drink so much last night?      
          Did I think I would wake all right?
                  I am still standing at my door
                          To hear enlivened silence once more
                                 Would bring pleasure and joy
                                          If only the sound in my head I could destroy
                                                     My whole body feels like a blooper
                                                              No fun waking from this stupor.
