Again

Awakened in the morning
hit that snooze button
think about the day ahead...
what day is it?
snap out of that dream
back to reality -
it is staring at you through the steam in the mirror
wipe it clean
is that the time?
running late
already again,
again and again
behind the eight ball
no food for thought
no thought for breakfast
no time to turn on the iron
need a new razor - hope you remember
a kiss goodbye...
and I put my life in your hands
check it in at the door
Take care until I see you both again
tonight
i hope I won't be late
i hope you'll be safe
because life starts again,
when we're back together
the rest we do to fill in the time
pay the bills
earning a living,
making a life
realise some potential
avoiding and confronting
listen to some stories
about comfort zones
to help you fall asleep,
and once again
we are
thinking about everything we want to achieve
solving the mysteries of the world
wondering what challenges will put us on trial next?
wondering what we can conquer?
who is dealing the cards?
who will be trying to cheat
take advantage
or surpise us with kindness
selflessness
reminding me of that moment
when I realised that my philosophies I had developed
when I was young
what made me who I had become
were wrong when I was never wrong
and it was a pleasantly unpleasant surprise
opened my eyes...
and I promised
this time
I won't hit snooze
