PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

another day takes its first breathe

I lay in bed lingering , hiding from the ugly world

I see the sunshine peaking in the blinds

taunting me to rise



I brace myself, god not wanting to leave this bed

not ever!

pillows strategic in placement  all around me

creating the illusion of someone laying next to me



the stereo still pounding out my favorite tunes

I'm so damn tired of just existing

I pull my trusty quilt tighter around my neck

trying to will the sun to sleep



alarm clock screaming out at me

thoughts of the cold floor upon my feet I cringe

my body recoils trying to become one with the mattress

I want just 5 more minutes before I face this cold world
