Sunrise

Struggling to wake up and stay
awake when I have little to feel.
Will this day be like the dozens 
before or will I be able to accomplish 
something worth the memory space?

Waiting for the sun only to settle for its light.
I feel the light give me some sort of warmth
in clothes clean enough to wear again.

I catch a glimpse of the sun at its peak.
It's struggling to stay awake, too.

Maybe it needs to rest a little longer.
Maybe we're both not ready to face
the world or show our faces, yet.

The second time around we rise.
