In Pain

How do you wake I say to friends

open eyes and a damn good stretch?

No wet sheets no foul smell?

no way they say, 'cor go to hell!

Lonely waking up like that I say

ostracised, cut off and made to pay.

I wonder if they would feel the hurt I have

when waking, wet or smelling like that.

No cheerful start to the day is it?

no feel good factor there.

And worse still may be to come

A daytime sez! oh what can be done?
