November 2022 Random Challenge When I wake up in the morning Winner
When I wake up in the morning
WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
When I wake up in the morning
My brain is like thick porridge
Unconvinced that I actually slept
And I don’t recall dreaming either
Holding on, I stumble out of bed
Wetting my lips, clearing my throat
A mug of coffee, not much to eat
It takes me an hour to come alive
The new day dawns for me to face
Yet now I could easily turn around
And fall unconscious once more
They call it sleep but I’m not sure

Glad to see
There are many who aren't morning people like me! Seems the older I get, the longer it takes me to function. Good job!
