Today
The world feels jagged
Rough
Hard
Chilly

+

Today
My eyes feel heavy
Itchy
Tic
Tic

+

When I give in
Shut them
My bed calls to me
She serenades me
Soft
Warm
Welcoming

+

How sweet it would be
To fold back in to her embrace
Cocooned against these jagged edges
And say
No thank you
Not today

+ + + + +

Thank you for reading!

    Why does the bed feel more inviting on a Monday morning? Its like a hug you do not want to leave. I love this line and I can relate: When I give in Shut them My bed calls to me She serenades me Soft Warm Welcoming +

    'My bed calls to me' 'She serenades me' I'm ready to call it a day, and it's only 7 am. 😁
