some mornings,
you wake up
and it looks hopeless
then you look out the window,
searching for some kind of answer
out there with the cars, trees,
humans
no.
no answer out there.
so you crack a book, or search for a phrase
that will lighten the morning
nope
not there either.
some mornings,
you wake up,
and it looks hopeless,
but then you remember
that.
that....
uh...
there's no uplifting words to fill that in with.
you do it because you have to
and you must.
because you can't let this world get you down
you can't let people get you down
all you have to do
is outlast everyone
endurance
if you can stay awake just long enough
while these other hacks fall asleep
at the party
you'll be sober enough to drive home
while the sun comes up
and feel that morning frost
melt off you
