#wakefulness
When I wake up in my bed With aching head I hesitate from thence arise With sleepy eyes; I rub them with my weaken hands; An itch in glands From drinking something cold that night What wasn’t right And now regretting doing this; Something amiss Through haze and mistness of the day, Of life decay I follow birds just when they fly High in the sky, It remedies my hurting head I wish was dead And every morning just the same, No ‘scape from pain

When I wake up in my bed
Don't let me wake up rested. Don't take my excuses. I want to wake up bested: my worst will just be fate. I don't want to sleep fully - then I wouldn't be tired, and what would I do if being tired wasn't the only thing that gave me rest? Maybe there's one more thing. I don't want to wake. Half a sleep is all I really need to make this life seem less like a dream.

I don't want to wake up rested
Behold the behaviour instincts we willingly neglect. To much negative energy can choke a soul to death.. Inter the loop of suffering let your anger flow… Cloak yourself in righteousness take your ball and go. Or simply realise life is but a dream. And the alarm clock is ringing ding a ling a ling!
