Everyday is a habit.
I wake again to the sunshine with
Squinted eyes, and I feel the need to ignore
Being hungry or tired or depressed.
I ignore the want to make the bed
Or clean my room,
Or be an active person in society.

I wake up,
I bite my nails,
And while I do, I think of all the things
They warn us from thinking.

And I chew my nails to bits
Before putting my feet to the floor
And walking out into the kitchen
​​​​​​​To say good morning again.
