In The Dark

"It gets more crushingly awful every year
How early night falls
And how much effort it takes to roll out of bed

In the dark.

But we do, don’t we?
We put on a pot of coffee
And we put on our clean clothes

And even brush our teeth and hair.

We are so fragile.

But that’s not the real story.

The real story is how we keep on.

I’m not sure anyone ever told you this

But half the battle is just getting out of bed."
