Another Day
My eyes slowly open in the early morning light
I made it through another night
Another night of broken dreams
slivers of color like a kaleidoscope scheme
Breathing lightly, my mind wanders back in time
when life seemed easier to climb
My body finally awakens, with all the familiar pains
yeah, I’m alive because in death I’d feel nothin’
I slowly sit up and swing my legs to the side
my feet touch the floor and I slowly rise
My dry tongue cries for coffee as I reach to open my door
a small voice in my mind asks a question as I stand rooted to the floor
‘Will today bring more drama and stress?’
I sure could live with a lot less
I slowly open the door and step into the next room
whatever today brings I will deal with I assume
As I’m not ready for the alternative just yet
I love your poem Jackie. Especially the last line. ❤

Sounds like you are quite wrung out, Jackie. I’m wishing there was something I could do to make life a little brighter. Love the art at the end. Know I’m thinking of you daily and wishing good things come your way.
