2.88 Seconds

 

The alarm goes off

The loud ringing is exactly the way to ruin a Monday Morning

It screeches like an angry eagle repeatedly

Get up! Get up!

Immediately

Sadness hangs over

Following me like a shadow

One the size a fully grown elephant

I swing my feet onto the floor

Take a deep breath and smile

I know today will be a good one

2.88 seconds is all the validation needed

Today I choose to have a good day

Only takes 2.88 seconds to say

In the past I would gloom around in emptiness all day

However the present is different

Because I choose it to be that way

Take 2.88 seconds and decide to have a good day
