Wakes up
Sleepy eyes
Drooled crust on my lips
Brush my hair
With my hands
Down a gallon of coffee
To jump start my senses
Rhythms start playing out in my head
Turn on the computer
To rattle the keys
To the beat of my caffeine rush
Stare at the words
Stare at the words
Leave for a break
But never return
Because you picked up a
Super good book
Look at the time
The day is finally done
Remember how you wanted to write a
Poem
Forget to press “publish”
And hit the pillow
With an effortless
Thud
That knocks you out into
Discreet obscurity
To live your life
On a make believe
Dream
I had fun re-reading this one. It is with a smile and a smirk that I wrote this back in 2017.

Liyona is an “average joe” kind of writer who likes to think about ordinary things and then write them down. Ever since she can remember, she has been rhyming words and creating lyric poems. During her college years, she took a more serious bent toward writing and started to post on her blog (The Life and Times of a Quirky Character.) Currently, she resides on the East Coast of the United States just north of the country’s capital.
