More Days Than This – Written Monday 10th November 2025 (Aged 50)

More Days Than This

I need to
wake up,
and stretch
to get going,
and I need to move further forwards.
I need more days than this
to wake up
and meaningfully get out of bed,
because
my head is weighed down
by the things swirling around my head.
I need more days than this.
I need to get up,
but
I also have to sleep,
and sleep entices me back in.
In my head,
rooms flood in.
I need more days than this.
I am here,
and I could be back on top
(surely)
if I had more days than this.
