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. Climbing out of the Night's broken sleep I sort memories; I want to keep. I'm hampered by truth's drunken disguise; and the acquired weight of empty lies. My mind's too numb to register pain until I sit up and jolt my brain. Waking with heartburn and thirst for sure: my upset stomach begs for a cure. Getting 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.
