(always running?)

5:30 am.I pretend it isn’t, so I can rise. Read. Run. Remind my burning thighs(of their burden).6:00 am. Already, I am tired. Study, student,So it sticks, education makes a dent(in the wallet).6:30 am.Force the same thing down the throat, Eat so little, every morning wants to choke(is it working?).7:00 am.Forgive the family late to morning prayer. Supplicate, submission, gratitude, and care(here’s my solace).7:20 am.Run inside - forgotten water bottle,Back into the car, where we slam into full-throttle(in a hurry). 8:00 am.Blurry lines, why do I exist? Can you seeInto a different timeline, where i wouldn’t have to be (always running)?
