(1/30/17)

Early in the morning,
I lie awake in bed,
Awaiting the alarm
Or chirping birds
To awaken any sign of life
Within me.
Some days, the sound comes
Sooner than I wish,
But others, it never comes
And I am left alone in the dark,
Asleep forever,
With only my mind to keep me company,
Playing the same thoughts over
Like a broken record.
