morning thoughts
by Darcie
**********************
so i queston
the possibilities of today
which emotion will control
what unknowing soul
will I follow today
as my favorite band
plays over the radio
their confidence
giving me the strength
to sit up in bed
place the book I had read
onto the shelf
so i question
the thoughts my heart is sending
to my brain
why wear a coat in the rain
put on the sandals
pretend to be insane
just to see
the expressions on their faces
as my favorite band
plays over the radio
the vocalist's voice
forces me to sing along
hum along
while i pull the covers
over the edges of the bed
so i question
how i am able to stand
being isolated
being so cold
how way too often
scared by crowds
i squeeze through
and hide
as my favorite band
plays over the radio
the enchanting music
seems to take me higher
my feelings escape
while i pull on a black wool sweater
so i question
why i even bother to get up at all
easily enough i could lay awake
in my bed
let the hours pass casually
as my favorite band
plays over the radio
the melody sticks in my mind
while i carefully brush my hair
in time with the rhythm
while i slip on a pair
of tightly fitting black jeans
glancing at my reflection
not completely satisfied
with what i see
so i question
each day i rise
a second earlier than the last
are my dreams creeping away
are they slowly fading away
as my favorite band
plays over the radio
the last few chords
are strummed out
on an acoustic guitar
my hand turning the key
turning the lock
as i walk down the avenue
humming the song
that was strong enough
to wake me this morning
waving a hand for a taxi
i step in
retie my old black boots
so i question
why do i continue
waking up in the morning
it's obvious
to hear my favorite band
play over the radio
