So today l woke up

So today I woke…
Not because I wanted another sunrise,
but because nightmares eventually grow tired.
The morning poured gold across my window,
yet my heart still belonged to the night.
Some wounds don’t bleed—
they echo.
I wore a smile
like a borrowed face,
hoping no one would notice
the funeral inside my chest.
People asked if I was okay.
I told them I was just tired.
It was easier
than explaining how loneliness
can breathe,
how memories can haunt a room,
or how a person can disappear
without ever leaving.
So today I woke…
Not to live.
Just to carry yesterday
one more time.
