The Glue of Life
Annie Krall
The alarm clock goes off and the day begins
Rolling out of bed seems more like a nightmare than reality
As the world starts to wake up you can’t fall back to your dreams
The cold that hits you first at your feet seeps through your body
Too soon you make your way through the routine
To change is unusual and the unexpected is hardly welcomed
Too long you have lived this way
Too soon it will go away
Those closest around you hardly know themselves
Let alone the truth that lies within you
But what can you say now to change that
To break this familiarity, for something more, would be permanent
Truth, the glue…….
