Recovered me
Recover me.
I rolled
and dragged
my body up this morning.
Lights were bright
and cranky.
There was a chill in the air
that everyone felt
including me.
Coffee black,
Coffee fast !
And another cup
After that .
The coffee tastes better
Smells so fresh
and so good.
It feels different
in this kitchen
I can smell
and taste
food.
Before this
I would just crawl back to sleep
Drop the blinds
Pull them in tight
So I see nothing
Nothing sees me.
Not this morning
for I felt
like the coffee smelt.
Fresh and good.
My ways
were all working
as they should .
My body
my head
I wanted
to stay
out of bed.
Woke
An awakening
came to me
Today
i decide
my own destiny.
I was awake
I was alive
and I actually
wanted to be...
I thought any minute now
I'm gonna wanna
Crawl back in bed and sleep
So I dropped the blinds
And closed them tight
So I see nothing
And nothing sees me
But something was different
And it felt
like coffee smelt
Fresh and good
And things. Working
Like they should
Things were waking up
Within my body
and my head.
I no longer wanted
To lay back down in bed
I'm gonna eat some breakfast
Run a mile
and work out istead
Then
the thought came to me
This was the first day
Of the rest of my destiny
And I was awake
and I was alive
And I actually wanted to be...
