This morning, I woke up.

I stretched to feel the satin stir,

touched noses to my cat,

turned off my alarm.

I woke up,

and everything was fine,

despite the night before,

when time was lost in tears and curses,

and declarations of never wanting

to wake up again.

I woke up.

Later, I will sleep.

If not for the drama,

this would be monotony,

but instead,

this is peace.
