today I woke with a bad start and I pushed my way through the quicksand of the morning, sleeping in isn't an option for my 4 am shift life and a good night's sleep is called showing up late for work it took a week for 9 am to become 10 and everything felt so slow that I ran a red light without noticing on the way home I am drowning at 1:30 the afternoon sun taunts me for crawling back into bed but I don't have the energy to fight this today feel my throat close up and I cry for no reason again eat lunch from a microwave pouch 'cause I don't have the energy to leave the house for fast food I will only be awake for 7 more hours today I am sure that I will waste every second dreading tomorrow when it all resets just to replay
