wake up early to see sunrise
only to stay in bed
sweat it all out or wash off now
knowing it won't happen later
failed attempts at healthy meals to get ahead of the day
wonder if one day every morning will seem to start okay
sunset
what else is left?
could have done more but did the best
to get the rest completed
new places and new faces
some new friends, some new acquaintance
head off to sleep to try
tomorrow's beginnings a little bit smoother
with clothes arranged and alarms set
head down, waiting for slumber
