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.

Mornings that hold little promise of stimulation are a challenge, I agree. You've put on the screen well. May what you do today make tomorrow brighter. I see that the girls have welcomed you, there are three shining lights to follow, enjoy the Soup.
