Another Day

Woke up,

Got up, business done.

Ready for another day.

Brush away the overnight

And damn the light

And the mirrors display.

And though I know

I look a fright

With bedroom hair

And droopy stare,

I fake a smile and stumble to

The kitchen in my underwear.

 

Coffee on.

Pills to take.

Fill a cup of each.

Socks and shoes,

A little news and

Step into the breach.

 

What grand adventures do await

To carry me away?

Tis grace that’s granted me

The sunrise of

Another day.
