Midday Drowsiness

The day passes by slowly,
The atmosphere heavy with drowsiness.
The house is quiet and still-
Everyone's asleep 'cept for me.
I tell myself to get out of bed,
But my body refuses to move.
The birds chirp cheerfully outside,
Contradicting with my mood.
The clock's ticking away on my nightstand,
But Time has come to a standstill.
Everyone's asleep- have I said this before?
I sigh as my mind refuses to work.
All I'm hoping now,
Is for a better tomorrow.
