Rise and Shine

Rise and shine
My least favorite line
Get out of bed
I’ll drag it with  
 
Heavy wrinkles indent
Meld with mesh
Create a sludgy mess
I couldn’t bother to clean
 
Get up!
I’m dead
Wake up!
Not again
 
They remind everyday
A roll of flesh
A dreaded existence lays
Between folded pages of cloth  
Inked blood pours time
Wasted yet remained a stain
A reminder
 
I know.
They sprinkling salt  
In corners of this dump
Wont keep witches  
From tossing trash at midnight  
Another day has replayed
 
Dirty and rotting
Nothing can preserve it
Stinging dryness  
The sun burns
 
Time to wake up
Rise and shine
Dissapointment
Not this shit again

They tell me I’m their sunshine
