Bloodshot eyes greet me
when I look into the mirror.
I shuffle my way into the
kitchen, where I smell bacon.
The sizzling popping noise
soothes my half awake mind.
A plate appears in front of me
and two eggs with a side of
bacon peer up at me,
begging to be eaten.
He plops into a chair
beside me with a plate
of his own and we
dig into our breakfast.
I watch him chomp his
greasy bacon and
I smile widely.
Another day
has begun
and I am thankful.

Bloodshot eyes greet me

I shuffle my way into the

The sizzling popping noise

A plate appears in front of me

He plops into a chair
beside me with a plate

I watch him chomp his

Another day
has begun
and I am thankful.
