Up Early

Waking early morn

Feeling nature’s call

Before the alarm

Roam the hall

.

In one hour

Alarm to sound

Dilemma upon me

More time unfound

.

In the dark

Down the stair

Before the sun

Burden I bear

.

Four three zero

Decision to make

Return to slumber

For day awake

.

Alarm one hour

Immediate sleep must

Struggle to wake

Difficult to adjust

.

Nap needed later

No time allotted

What to do

Mind all knotted

.

Alarm now buzzing

Dark silence torn

Though very groggy

Day now born

.

Weary by evening

Day cut short

Energy now gone

Sleep only resort
