To every day, there is a new beginning.
A beginning that is simple and sweat
The friendly gesture to a neighbor or morning coffee
One feeling of completeness or lack of sorrow
Worries are somewhere far from mind
Peace fills us to the brim, overflowing to the people around us.
And in a perfect world every day would begin this way
But people and fate contribute to what is known as a far from perfect planet.
These days people wake to arguing, to buzzing alarm clocks or unwelcome sun.
We sit up in our beds and stress suffocates our new beginnings
Thoughts of losses, struggles, and tasks consumes us
Insecurities and burdens are heavy on our shoulders as we go through our morning routines
Zombies to the modern world and the negativity that surrounds it
Whole days are contributed to these monsters
The creatures that creep up during snapshots of happiness
As a whole we never imagined our parents being right about the boogey-man in the closet or the monster under the bed
Yet here we all are, combating these beings everyday of our lives.
And not until we are old and grey do we realize we are only fighting ourselves.
I'm not afraid to admit
I look into the mirror and see all of these demons trying to over take me.
Sometimes getting out of bed is the hardest thing to do, and the whole day is designated to these demons.
I may hide it with work or smiles, reading and writing, but deep down everyone is battling.
Whether these demons are big or small.
Every night I awake having thoughts upon thoughts, stress upon stress.
And although I cannot see it, I feel the warmth of the sun enter my window.
As I lay there from lack of sleep and a tired mind,
All I ask of myself is for a good and steady day.
In reality, every human being wakes up hoping for something along these lines.
Easy, happy, simple, sweet.
A day with no duties, a day alone, a day to have someone back that you've lost.
But all of these desires are just too far away...so we wait for the next day
Another day for us all to make a deal with the dawn.
