Morning Again
4:00 AM
The phone dances across the nightstand
and a wake-up song begins to play
But a sleeping mind can't understand
that it's time to face another day
4:15 AM
Now a second round of music blares
after the snooze cycle ran its course
A groggy mind finds it hard to care
hits the snooze with a little more force
4:30 AM
The damn song is now stuck in my head
another alarm I cannot shirk
I manage to slide across the bed
forced to face another day of work
