Waking Up in the Netherworld!

Waking Up in the Netherworld!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Bleak reality!

"

The T.V. shouts a warning, as my body slowly greets the day

 

I'd say "I", but my brain hit the snooze alarm

 

I look all around for the hot princess I was hitting on,

 

Before it dawns on me that I dreamed the whole thing

 

I should have known; an actual woman? 

 

I fell asleep with channel five casting flickering shadows

 

On the wall, and now I'm jolted awake by

 

Some dude telling me to seek medical attention

 

For an erection lasting four hours; whew, I'm safe!

 

"Coffee, coffee!" a stranger's voice screams in

 

The dark recesses of my brain.  "No s**t!" I shout back,

 

As if I was verbal jousting with myself!

 

I need to get up, but see, that's going to be a problem,

 

Because my muscles feel like I've been drinking '-5 Hour Energy",

 

My gumption has left the building, and it 'aint coming back!

 

My muscles would be aching, if I had any

 

Salvation in liquid form is clear out in the kitchen,

 

And here I am, wrestling with my blankets,

 

Wallowing in a sea of fabric, no closer to

 

Actually rising; oh God, the pain! 

 

What I need is a block and pulley system hooked

 

Somehow to the ceiling, so I can hoist on a rope

 

And rise, but that would require arm strength,

 

And I just never have the strength to do

 

Anything about never having any strength,

 

So I'll resort to plan B; lay here and b***h!

Oh good lord you are truly "hopless" lol
THis is what I used to do when it was hard to get out of bed: "Lela," I'd say to myself, "just sit up and put your feet on the floor. THen you can go back to bed, I promise." Then "Lela, just stand up, and then you can lie down again." In this manner I would coax myself into the bathroom and into my clothes, until I was finally too awake to go back to bed.
