Wakeup Strive
Its morning time
But getting up has no drive
Trying to keep my eyes open
I feel such heaviness
Heaviness!
I don't know where it lies
Also am I not sure, of what?
Whether its there
But I feel it
Such heaviness in my eyes
Even the bright light
Shinning through my window
Is not enough to clear it
And I simply turn my back
At night I have set my alarm
Hoping to jump at its sound in the
morning
But I simply throw my hand at the
clock
And off it goes
I lift my hand to put off the alarm
But I now feel my body as the
heaviest thing in the world
That I can't lift from the bed
And out of the sleep that I am not
fully into
My organs are working
But my muscles can't get to do
enough
And I feel as though they are tied
All these thoughts and feelings run
through me
Which shows I am not totally asleep
But I still can't get up
When I finally get up, I think;
How can something as simple as
sleep be difficult to get out of
No answer
But a wondering mind.
