POEM STARTER

Groundhog Day
At 2am I tell a lie
Tomorrow is the day I rise
Awake before the sun steals my thunder
But in the darkness of the dawn
I choose to keep the covers on
The overwhelming peace of sleep wins out
Panic and shame at 2pm
“You’re pathetic” repeats again
But tomorrow’s hope lives deep in my bones
