Dawn lights the sky as darkness erodes,
and my pounding head almost explodes.
A beam of sunlight pierces my eyes,
opening them wide would not be wise.
I climb out of the night's broken sleep
sorting memories, I want to keep.
And unmask truth's camouflaged disguise,
hampered by the weight of empty lies.
My mind's too numb to register pain,
until I sit up and jolt my brain.
I suffer heartburn and thirst for sure,
and my upset stomach begs a cure.
Waking up to hurt and confusion,
I can come to but one conclusion.
The Eve's festivities brought good cheer,
as friends wished friends a Happy New Year.
