Searing pain shoots up into my
leg
Slowly getting worse with each
second
I imagine that the table has no damage
Because my toe has no match
To the wooden leg attached to the
table
No breaks
Just bruises
I guess this is how I’m going
To start my glorious morning
I had already tripped up the
stairs.
And slipped on the tile
In my bathroom
Stepping out of the comfort
Of the warm tub.
Maybe gravity decided to pick on
me today.
Well good morning gravity.
It’s a school day, so
Approximately twenty minutes
before
I have to get to school
Haven’t even brushed my teeth yet
Or fluffed my hair
Or picked out an outfit.
“hey can you take me to school?
I missed the bus”
Pleading brother asking to take
him
Because no one else could
20 minutes now decreased to 5.
Skip breakfast
No makeup
Brush teeth
Rush out the door.
It’s freezing outside
The cold hitting my cheeks
Making goose bumps rise on my
arms
My car is frosted over
Forcing me to have to scrape
All the windows in order for me
To drive safely
I go to open my door
It’s locked
Oh wait.
It’s frozen shut.
Joy.
I am for sure going to be late
now
Ten minutes till I have to be at
school
Running inside to grab a cup of
warm water
I slip going up the stairs –
again.
I’m about to give up
I start pouring the water on my
door
I give it a tug
Nothing
Another
And finally, the door comes open
And I start my car
Thankful for my brother
Because he had already scrapped
The ice off my windows
Finally, fully awake,
I take a deep breath
And try and move on
From the frustration
Of my already passing morning
“you’re lucky I love you,
Or I wouldn't have done this.”
