resist

too much sleep
only makes me want to stay in bed
I would move but
prospects are grim

come on, throw off the comforter
I may be sweating
in the presence of life
yet I will not come around

stare at the ceiling
until the confluence of holes
paints me a way out
I feel a pathetic spark grow hot

burn me a new path
I’ll follow, I swear I’ll follow
just lead the way
tell me what to do

in the time we have left
bend closer to the task
let me rend your silver linings
into something we can use

don’t just wake up
get up
