Birthday Morning

I woke up and felt the full weight of my life,
I made coffee,
Hoping it would wake my senses,

I wanted a smoke,
Or a plane ticket,
Or a song that spoke right to my heavy heart,

I was seeking peace,
Desiring a distraction,
From the fact that I'm 23,

He's asleep in the other room,
It's 5:42am,
And I'm the only one awake.
