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.

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.
