waking up is a struggle.
alarm noises sound.
morning cold makes my bones toll
like church bells on sunday.
my bedsheets weigh.
miles seem to amount
between my bed and nightstand.
my body supplants me.
alarm gets snoozed
by someone.
i promised myself i would wake up
the night before.
promises i can\'t carry on.
strong as the weakest.
as confident as insecure.
suffering in my inabilities.
