Convinced
As I wake,
it becomes of me
Slowly reach to my lamp and touch
it turns on first stage,
low.
I commence and wait
I slowly roll out of bed
Eyes still unsettled
I raise up,
turn and put my feet on the floor.
I get the barbed feeling
on the soles of my bare feet.
I wait
The first thing in mind is food,
but I have no time.
Anxious to go,
quiet and empty-minded.
Still unclothed,
wanting to fully awake.
I walk to the bathroom
Turn the sink on cold
Wait to slowly convince myself,
my face is ready
I dry my face,
put on this mask
Hide away my worries.
