Threat.

I wake up.

And I say

Waking up is the best start to your day.

Though I never enjoyed it and always thought,

I wouldn't be here.

Be at this age.

I've been threatening my existence

Every day for years and years.

I'm surprised almost

That I'm still here.

Still alive and still feeling

That particular pull.

Death has taken a break

And left on his lunch.

And I'm stuck scrambling

Trying to keep up.
