AWAKE BEFORE DAWN


Awake before dawn,

She lays staring, thinking, ideas,comparing, 

Her mind plays her like a pawn. 

Thinking thoughts of a positive breed, 

Trying to lay the foundation,

Pushing back any negativity,

As irrational thoughts flood through her mind,

She remembers a time,

Which adds a smile to her tattooed brows and fading smile line,

When life was simple and kids were young, 

When love was pure,

Un-invaded and strong.

"Simplicity" she thinks, 

As she lay awake before dawn,

Staring, thinking, 
anticipating, contemplating,

As her mind continues to play her like a pawn.
