sometimes your alarm
will go off in the morning
and you don’t want to
get out of bed and
you have so much to do
that won’t get done unless
you get out of bed and
you will lie there guilting yourself
for feeling too tired
too down
to climb out of bed
when you’re supposed to
climb out of bed
stay in bed
close your eyes
go back to sleep
sometimes we need more rest
before we face the day
this is how
you fight the monster strong
This is an excerpt from the book of poetry, this is how you live, available in both ebook and paperback form.
