They say that waking up is hard to do
when the most peaceful part of a day
is jolted into reality
by a voice who's tone is not so soothing
The morning radio just does not suffice,
it's not a substitute at all
for the moments of tranquility found only
between the sheets and blankets
And when the foot hits the carpet
it's like stepping into a steel trap,
because I know what is coming next,
and it's not always pretty
It's not always worth waking up for,
but it's there nonetheless
like some mysterious force that pulls you out
into a cold world
MM 1997
