Routine – Sumyia Haque

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Rips me out of restful sleep

Shuffle roll, shuffle roll

Small feet on the cold floor

Prep and prime, powder and shine

Until my face doesn’t look like its mine

Hustle, hustle, rush and bustle

Board the vessel or be in trouble

Excuse me please, pardon me please

Everyone is packed in like sardines

Rumble screech, rumble screech

Inhale and think of dreams I’ve yet to reach

Exhale & decide on what’s worth to keep

What is shallow & what is deep

Is today the day?

Will I be brave and take a leap?

Or retreat

Overcome by the fear of defeat

Buzz, blur, chitter chatter

Another day another matter.
