I woke up this morning with dumbbells tied to my ankles
and knots tied in the muscles lining my spine
with stomach churning
ears pounding
body screaming not to move
eyes heavy from the moment they opened
yet unable to close
heart on fire
impatiently waiting for it to end
sleeping ideal but unattainable
I wish it was raining
to justify my immobility
but the sun is shining
and I'm wasting yet another day
