4.40
Sudden jolt
Pitch black
Woke up
To see
It’s 4.40!
Same every day
Who to blame
Deep asleep I
Long for, yet
Awake at 4.40!
Why can’t I only
Wake up at 8.40?
Just like my spouse
Unconscious by my side
Sadly not to be
For me, it’s 4.40!
Is it anxiety and stress?
Old age, indigestion, “high tide”?
My internal clock gone amok?
I may never know why.
Regardless, it’s still barely 5!
Tired.
Frustrated.
Livid.
Conflicted.
Resigned.
Thanks
A
Lot
4.40!
