Don’t Try To Fool Me…

I awake today and look at the alarm clock as it rings….I am having difficulty understanding the time.  It appears alien to me. 6:00? What exactly does it mean? It does not seem to follow the pattern as yesterday, it looks different some how. I lay in bed reassembling my thoughts. I am trying to discern if I will be late for work, yet I do not emerge from under the covers. My bed is my refuge from life.  Asleep I can escape the pain of life. Awake I must confront it, but I never do… I am not confrontational when it comes to my life.  Life overwhelms me.
