Another dawn come round too soon.
Crack an eye open
And peer around the room.
Punch the alarm for one last snooze;
Wishing it were a pause button instead
So I could spend the day in bed.
Tryin' to be brave
When all I wanna do is cry,
The ticking clock is my enemy;
I feel time passing me by.
Finally haul myself to my feet-
Physically conscious
But emotionally asleep.
Start prepping my game face
On my way to the shower;
Visualizing day's end
As I count down the hours.
