Waking up this morning,
Climbing out of bed;
Staring in the mirror
At my sleepy head.
Going through the motions,
Packing up my stuff;
Trusting in the notion
That I can be enough.
Enough all on my own,
Enough to do my tasks,
Enough while all alone,
Enough! Enough! Enough with all the masks.
Crushed by all the sadness,
Pushed beyond my strength;
Caused by my own selfish
Need to self-sustain.
