Breath quickens
Eyes blink open
I'm awake
But I wish I wasn't.

Sit up groggily
Push unruly hair away
Sigh tiredly
I'm awake
But I wish I wasn't.

Finally pick up phone
Turn it on
Lose self in all the nothing
I'm awake
But I don't look like it.

Try to get up
Collapse back into pillow
Don't have the energy
To really be awake.

Get out of bed finally
Pull on some pants
Look in the mirror
Hate what is seen
I'm awake
But I so very wish I wasn't.
