Squid vs the Mornings

And every morning when I wake out of bed

The first images of the day:

The lavender polish covering my toenails

Watching with half-shut eyes,

Those same toes digging into the cold carpet

Covered by a faint sunlight from outside
The same light that makes it all cold

No warmth to the new day

Just cold

New

And unknown

Squid vs Survival

No matter the regrets, worries, fears, or disappointments; how many relationships you end or are ended for you. No matter if your eye is focused upon the half-empty and not the full. The career doesn't matter; the bachelor's degree is insignificant; pleasing others is dumb.

No matter what happens.

You will come out alive.

Unless you die, that is.
