I Really Don't Want To Get Up

Arise they call

into my ear

yelling and screaming for the world to hear

the leaves, the shake

going around

wondering and waiting to touch the ground

peeping through them

she calls to see

beckoning me forward with love of me

but others, too

have a tight hold

ripping and tearing along the way home

and I fight, try

to get them off

but singing and humming I just can’t fight

and alone, they keep me trapped in the night

*wrote this when i was in that stage between waking and sleeping. i went back to bed.
