Yes, Another.

It's another monday morning,
and another five-something once more.
I'm smoking in the garage.
My body fighting being sore.

And I know when you all wake...
disappointment will arise.
She's still awake and hasn't slept?!
...

Are you really that surprised?

I suppose it's hard to comprehend, or maybe,
maybe deep down you know.
But I cannot change this morning.
So... can we just take it slow?

And eventually exhaustion will pervail,
and physically, I will succumb.

My mind will stop. 
My spirit tired.
Reluctantly embracing the numb.

Cool write Amy...so frustrating those nights when things keep going round and round in your head, you know you can't do anything about the situation yet it still sits in there telling you the same thing over and over and it doesn't matter how much you try to think of something else its still there and then you have to face the consequence of a day feeling drained...great write...Allie
