Poems

I woke up this morning

I woke up this morning.

It was a miserable day.

The clouds were looming over me.

They would not go away.

I woke up this morning.

I felt like I was dead.

I could not cope

With the pain in my head.

I woke up this morning.

It was a struggle to get up.

Nothing to look forward to,

Except my routine check-up.

I woke up this morning.

My neck was in pain.

Getting out of bed,

Was nothing but a strain.

I woke up this morning.

My legs were full of ache.

From these aches and throbs,

I will never get a break.

But I woke up this morning,

With a smile on my face.

I am still living,

And in my own place.

I will not give in.

I will not fall.

I am happy, I am proud,

That I woke up at all.
