The alarm rings and i get up
Realizing that even though i just slept the night
my body is exhausted
my soul is tired
And while i try to fire my engine
To zoom out of bed to meet the day
i roll out, slowly, puttering instead of zooming
my mind feels a little cloudy
So i attempt a few of my tried and true go-tos to slough off the tired blanket that has wrapped itself around my entire being
A shower, some yoga, caffeine, the internet ... those should get me going
But yet even if they do provide a small jolt of wake up
Underneath, the tired and empty place remains
For while there is work to be done,
and people who are tugging at me for attention
The truth is...
If i took a moment out of my life, to look in the mirror into my eyes,
the window to your heart and soul
What i only see and hear back in response is ...
"i have nothing more left to give today."
