Morning coffee pulls me from my slumber
I step outside for a slow death to drink it all in
Songbirds sing and nature rings
Of stories to unfold, yet untold
Natural rhythm of raindrop drumbeats
I only wish I could hear them from beneath the sheets
Blind faith loses to a logic so cold
Perhaps to rest when I find myself old
Warm water pours down to surround
Me with steam and a soapy embrace
Regret to exit into the cold I must face
Lost to the pleasures I exfoliate
From deep within this skin of sin
Inside my cloth cocoon I transform
A change hardly even noticed by myself
Another morning catalogued on the shelf
Break free of my cotton restraints
Only to step into another confining costume
Which mask will I wear today?
Which one will make everyone say
"I respect his individuality and his courage to express
His thoughts in cloth and metal subterfuge"
Over thinking and overanalyzing what to wear
Perceptions based on visualizations just isnt fair.
