#wakingup

Your memories were immersed in murky waters

Was not ready to drain and clear the pool, truly cleansing the spilth and sewage

And so, I restored my peace, chose music and started forgetting

Dropped one heavy baggage into the pond's deepest

After calling you names and pushing you away

Replaced everything with a blank slate

I said 'goodbye'

To all those lovelorn remarks

To one naive, starry-eyed girl

Most people think coffee is what wakes you up in the morning.

My hand and eye coordination and finger dexterity are just barely good enough to type this out in the morning. Sometimes I wake up in the morning stumbling. It's nothing new, just a symptom of waking up before I really want to - thanks Charlie. 🐩

I think that at a certain point in life, your mind to longer blinks into perfect clarity when you wake up in the morning. Honestly, I don't recall if my mind ever did that, but I think it did at least if I was sober the night before. I used to have a schedule to keep though, you know, getting to work and all that. Now my only schedule is "time to get up" because of Charlie, and "time to eat" because of both Ben and Charlie. It's a dog's world. 😂
