SMACK
Out of bed before the third zz is finished
Awake alive ready to thrive
Hours before obligations
~Ten Years Later~
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
Aggressive never not aggressive
Did I even fall asleep at all?
SMACK
10 more minutes
Buzz, blare, bang, boom
Maybe it was only set for 1 more minute
Checks phone
Nope
Says 10 minutes
SMACK
10 more minutes

The devil disguised as gentle music
Checks schedule
Meeting in 10 minutes
Plenty of time
SMACK
7 more minutes
Buzz, shaking, questioning reality
