Setting The Alarm

I remember feeling like this

Every day back then

When it would take everything I had

To get up and do it again

Although now I find it easier

With most mornings not as hard

I’d be lying if I didn’t say

Sometimes I’m still caught off guard

---

5am

Stomach lurching,
Bones aching,
Head pounding,
Heart breaking,

Waking up is never easy.
