Lately

I awoke
With the sunlight on my face
Blinking through the blinding light
The oblivious seconds
Of a new fresh morning
Where the mind is clear of worry
And you feel your heart
Pounding evenly in your chest

I awoke
Retrieved my consciousness
And wanted to drown again
In dreamless sleep
Cause getting out of the covers
Means another long day
Where a single minute
Can stretch itself to hours

I awoke
And felt the air around me thicken
Turned around in my sheets
Not wanting another look at the clock
Not wanting to get up just yet
So I stay a while longer
And It feels like only minutes passed
Yet I've been lying here for hours
