Long Day

I awoke at 3 p.m.
Fearfully, I crept from the safety of my bed
to face inevitability.
Honestly, I wonder why I leave that place...
my slumber, my security.
Without fail, I found false hope in Saturday.
Just another time to drift.
I drifted aimlessly about the world,
hoping to share my gift.
Without fail, the world was dry of love for me.
Love...my gift to share with thee.
Does the world not need my company.
That's just how it seems to be.

Now, I retreat from this battle
with nothing left to say
except that I awoke at 3 p.m.,
yet still had such a damn long day.

The ending of this seemed perfect.  The whole thing is very well written, I enjoyed reading it.  I hate having these sort of days though.

Jeremy, days such as these a re the ones that need to be taken and put in confinement! I know this feeling all too well my friend. All I can say is look at this day that you wrote about and think about how the next will be substantially better!   Sorry I didn't talk to you when you called. Anymore when I'm sleeping it's impossible for me to wake and have a meaningful convo!   Besides that, 2 hours before you called, I stumbled my way into the door and passed out on the kitchen floor...only to awake an hour later very uncomfortable and managed somehow to make it to my bed. So me thinks, that when you called I was still half assed drunk!   anyways, nice poem you have here my dear! Talk at ya soon!
