Writings

Bright Mornings

Waking up can be hard

But get up and stretch

Than get some food you like

Donโ€™t forget the water

Brush your teeth

Than wash your face

Getting dressed is next

Minimum screen use will help

Affirmations in the mirror to

But most of all remember

You are you and that is enough...

Awaking.

Awaking with hope,

That pesters, reassures that,

Life will ease some day....

The Morning Coverup

Wake up early, 6:30โ€ฆmaybe

I was restless all night anyways.

Go for a run

I may look motivated but what you donโ€™t know is that Iโ€™m fantasizing running away from my life.

Come home and do my makeup and skincare.

If Iโ€™m gonna be a mess on the inside, I have to look great on the outside

Besides, concealer will help cover up the dark circles under my eyes from the past sleepless nights, and the mascara...

Start

Waking up

On my own accord,

No annoying alarms

To jolt me awake.


Feeling refreshed,

An energized feeling,

Calm

Flows through my veins.


What a way

To start the day,

But thatโ€™s not all

To my morning routine!


Getting out of bed

At my own pace,

No race

To force me forward.


Down the stairs,

Breathing in the air,

Step by step,

Breath by breath.


Making my

Ideal breakfast of

Cereal,

I begin to eat....

Bec Way

A warm cup foaming in your hands

Baked croissants sitting on a pan

A boothed chair stained red

And a book you havenโ€™t yet read


The sun shining bright through the window

People shouting โ€˜good dayโ€™

Oh, what a wonderful morning

Down on Bec Way...

perfect start

waking up at half past twelve


gentle sunlight seeping through the window blinds


birds chirping


tree branches waving hellow


no screaming from children


or being yelled at by adults


a pile of books in one corner


and a secret stash of candy in the other


an autumn-themed outfit


a long orange skirt


welcomed with music


coming from the alexa


this


is my perfect start...

Good Morning

I get up nโ€™ roll over.

12 PM? Damn.


Run a hand through my long hair.

Throw blankets over the messy bed.

Rub my eyes and step over

the body on the floor.


What?

Haha, oops.

Secrets, funny.


Pick the blade up-

No face on the victim.

Stabbed 104 times.


Lick the blade, smile.

Blood sticky like honey.

And sweet like candy.


Drag โ€˜em to the closet, shut the door.

Iโ€™ll wash my hands and fix my makeup.

Perfection

Perfect day if only it would come

If only i could jump out of bed with a smile on my face

Trampling down stairs donโ€™t mind being called an elephant

Laughing as my sister is too

Not a second look at scissors as I walked out the door

And Iโ€™d believe in a future enough to study

And when i play music I could sing along loudly

And tonight i have enough energy to get ready for bed

and have nothing tha...

Comfort Call

This morning my alarm didnโ€™t go off to wake me

I really hate that useless thing

The rest of the morning didnโ€™t get better either

Then I heard my phone start to ring

And just as I thought Iโ€™d go insane

It was you calling me just because

I didnโ€™t want to come off as the type to complain

So I said โ€œIโ€™m doing wellโ€, then I was...
