When You Were At Ease
by alexrambler
Waking up
Tired
Beside me a half filled cup
Stumblin’ out
Of Bed
Can’t remember last night
There’s a thin line to walk
Between the good and the bad
Too much
Too soon
Too Fast
Will make you forget
What you had
When you were at ease
Yes, when you were at ease
It’s easy to look back
But hard
To find a place
To be at ease
I need
The urge
To see all I can see
And yes
They rule
Just to kill your protests
A place that’s been bought and sold
Is the pavement that we all walk
They took
They took
They took
And fooled us with their talk
So forget for a while
The hardship
Forget for a while
The despair
And imagine the times
When you were at ease
Yes, when you were at ease
It’s easy to look back
But hard
To find a place
To be at ease
I really like this poem. I makes me think of when I first wake up, just before my mind starts.
