i woke up
but now
i am too tired

i could do a push-up
if i tried
but i am too tired

i could take time to enjoy
my sweet old etcetera
but i am too tired

i could stand up for myself
if i tried
but i am too tired

i could write stories of awe
and songs of legend
but i am too tired

i could improve
if i tried
but i am too tired

i could rest
if i tried
but i am too tired
