I muffle this in my pillow Like a muted microphone, Cussing out poetry lines, Frustrated that I have to get up for work. My eyes crank open to the optimistic sun In the most unoptimistic way. Watery and red, I glance around the room To find someone to blame, However all I can find Os this alarm clock, Flashing it's lights at me. That says 6:15, But I feels like it's nap time for me, I curl up in bed.
Wait! The needy child called my job Is slinking around my wrist Giving me the urge to be adult like. Mehh whyyya Can't I be like the nerds We make fun of Who live in basements And get a home cooked meal every night. I lift my head up to hear the excuses my head Is making. “you got student loans remember? That and…. Car payments Rent Utilities?”
Alas, the battle that arouses Between the trenches in my skull ends, All of the smoke leaves my head And pours into the coffee I'll drink. Left and right side of my brain stop fighting As I march on to work, Doing the same thing Everyone else is doing on this day And my battle of waking up ends Before it can rest on it.
