She Wakes
Then Closes Her Eyes
A young woman wakes each morning
Then closes her eyes once more,
She tries her hardest to go back to sleep
What has she got to wake for?
***
Try as she might sleep eludes her
So she lays there trying to find a way,
To drag herself up out of bed
And find the strength to face the day.
***
Once out she takes a look around her
And if she wasn't depressed before, she is now,
What has she got to highlight her day
The dishes, the cleaning,.......oh wow!!!
***
You ask how I know what she's feeling
How could I possibly see?
Well the answer to that is simple
Because that young woman is me!!!
