¨Five Seconds¨
Every morning,
when I wake up,
there are five glorious seconds.
These seconds are precious to me.
I treasure them.
In those five seconds, my eyes do not open.
My head is not sore from thought.
My ears hear nothing but the birds outside.
In these moments there is no guilt,
no envy,
no fear of the work to be done,
no anger at the fact that I start the day off with double period chemistry.
I am free of sin.
I am free of the responsibilities of the day.
No thought crosses my mind.
In those five seconds,
I simply lie in absolute comfort,
no cares pressing down on my shoulders.
The only memories in my head
are those of the dreams I had the night before.
Then on the sixth second,
reality hits.
I remember everything.
And I desperately scramble to return to those five seconds.
