 the sunrise is full of fear, full of anxiety for all that anticipation, knowing i can't live up to the promise, some new day trash, as if i have to accomplish it all by the end. no, i don't like watching the sunrise, can't watch it without some kind of pain, too much expectation. i'd rather be sleeping through it, or have a cloudy morning where the light just comes on. i know it's just the world turning back towards the sun, that ist's just an illusion which makes it seem like a beginning when it's only a cycle. but i can't look at it that way; not when i see the sun at the horizon just having breached. where's that hope i had the night before? it's just the waking up that gets me, the understanding that i can't continue to sleep, that the places i need to go to are unfriendly and unwelcome but necessary. so the sun rises and knots my stomach, me not fearing the sun but the work and the place where i have to be. will i be able to relax when i don't have to be here anymore?
