waking up to an unusual ease
it’s going to be a good day
aahh, relaxed
breathing a sigh of relief
gone is the strain from yesterday
the agitation has lifted
would that every morning
felt this way
a smile can emerge again
not feigned, but real
there’s hope again
thank you, science
life is waiting
for us to appear
lacking strength
once again
this blanket of doom
intervenes
feeling wrapped up
in cold dysfunction
held hostage by fear
it stakes a claim
on our courage
strangles it
eyes can’t face the day
legs won’t move
a body screaming
with electricity
the weight of the world
too much
retreat the only option
back to bed
we grow accustomed to the dark
