Please Leave Me In Lala Land

My hearts dream is alert, awake, but cannot coax my body into even a dull eye blink. My hearts goals are just beyond my reach, I am in lala land, and I want to stay there. My hearts song is now allowing me to move even a muscle, as I try to recapture my dream. The dog nudges my leg again, wanting to get up, smelling bacon I do not care about or eat UGH! It is a Tuesday. I throw my pillow at my annoying alarm. I almost had it this time.

You will make it to LaLa Land one day, Caren. I think we all can relate to this time and time again. Putting it to verse, well done.

If I was retired, what on earth would I have to write about? You do realize all my good material is walking around me at a different level on two legs.

It won't do any good, I must've hit and knocked my alarm clock in the floor 50 times already and it still screams at me every morning. Those things don't die anymore. Cute.
