The alarm
Not due
For another few hours
Eyes
Half focused
Watching
The minutes.


Slowly….



Slowly….


Wishing for sleep
Wishing for quiet
Thoughts
In endless waves
Of chatter.


Finally
That click
The telltale sign
Before the radio
Starts to play
Announcing
The time
To start
Faking it.


Feet barely touching
The ground
The face in the mirror
A stranger
Going
Through the motions
Secretly wondering
How long is too long
To stay in pyjamas.


Senses dulled
Water beading
Off a numb body
No loofa
Can remove
The rough
Residue of
Indifference.


Caught
In the wake
Of your
Self-inflicted
Sabotage…

This is very good! The entire poem is great, but these are my favorite lines. It's evocative; I've been there. Thank you for sharing!
