Why Do I Even Get Up?

Tue, 10/11/2016 - 09:52 -- JyGuy

Why do I even get up now?

The reasons are indefinite.

It's smelling grandma's famous grits

While putting on the fit I picked.

Look out the windows of my house

And yawning to the sight of dawn,

Thinking about the peeps im fond

Of, being all 'bout pros not cons

 

Why do I even get up now?

To see the one who birthed me 'gain.

To comfort and then support when

She's feeling down and feeling thin.

On days when all the birds are sound

And stereos are playing live.

The house busy as a beehive

when apron strings and bonds are tied.

 

Why do I even get up now?

The reasons are indefinite.

But no matter which one you pick,

It will be one that always sticks.
