This Morning I Woke Up
This morning I woke up
I looked down at my naked form
How a being so small in the universe
Can leave in its wake such misery
This morning I woke up
Eyes puffy, glued at the seams
Bloated, lifeless and stiff
A struggle to get started today
This morning I woke up
Sad, with a small shot of anger
Feel teeth gritted, shut tight
As if to speak would do harm
This morning I woke up
Slightly numb to the day before
A little touch of apprehension
For what today has in store
