I wake up...
to a tear stained pillow,
from unknown dreams.
I wake up...
Alone in a bed,
Only me.
I wake up...
to light bursting through the window,
with a craving for the darkness to return.
I wake up...
to the soft music,
with lyrics stirring my thoughts.
I wake up...
just to die again.
Author notes
The days are harsh, and everytime we wake up it will kill us again. We die... the wake up again the next morning.

This is a nice piece here. Very thought provoking and deep on a truly raw level. I like the simplicity it has to it at the same time. Good work. Thanks for sharing and for entering my contest. Best of luck to you.

Ahhh
See, this was very sad and forlorn and all that jazz, but it didn't move me.
Thank you for entering anyway! -

I was moved by this write. I felt as though the sleeping so represented death in aspects. It is an overwelming feeling to wake up in the midst of an unwanted reality. Sometimes I wish I could just sleep and not wake up, it is my way of escape!
This poem exemplifies that feeling so well.
Nice job!
Bravo!
