Breathe and Pretend
Breathe & Pretend
Another day has been born
Wake up in bed
Eyes still tightly closed
Holding tightly
To the fragments
Of an already lost dream
Tossing and turning
Throwing off the blankets
Getting out of bed
Wiping sleep away
Ignoring
The fierce headache
Previous night a blur
The sunlight burns
Like a reprimand
Closing curtains
Stumble over glass shards
Trying to remember
Last night
Silent house
A packaged gift
Time to shower
Shave away yesterday
Shed the lies away
A harsh cup of reality
Awakens the nerves
A ring on the table
Like a guilty child
Sweep it to the floor
Un-shed tears stinging
Escape the house
Earth shaking
Sun glaring
Judged by the dirt
It's the end
Even though
Another day has been born
