you wake up

with some crushing loss

or something recycled

,maybe,

an old morning disappointment

  some kind of past theme

    consumed like it's a f*****g coffee

  for a living, i swore

and i swear

i do hate figuring things out

about myself for real

thinking, who made me?

during the early times,

how did i get here?

(page break)

i think this hurts me

awake in the after times

managing that, this, and a personal f*****g reality...

that i do not understand

but i know

(break)

i was not meant for this

(break's are for p*****s)

so i may not know why i smoke cigarettes

but i do certainly know why i drink

to go to sleep

Thanks. The website stopped working before I could really finish it and now I've lost interest. It really should be better.

I love Cohen's poetry. There's nothing like the famous blue raincoat...

The first 3 lines are dead on about some mornings. Beyond perceptive writing,dear author, that many can relate to, myself for sure
