Before Dawn

Before dawn you lie awake as your life sits on your chest making it hard to breathe.
There will be no more sleep but you lie there waiting for the alarm.
Postponing the inevitable.
It is dark; you want your mind to flash brilliant, come up with solutions, give you hope, set a course.
Make a change.
Tangled thoughts, worry, fear, disappointment, sheer fatigue, compromise the efficiency of your thought process.
You waste this time in the dark as you will waste the rest of the day.
The irony is in the clarity with which you see yourself before dawn, in the dark, when there is nothing else to see.
