“I WOKE UP ALONE”

“YOU WERE GONE, I AM ME AGAIN”

I woke up this morning,

The clock ticking,

The birds singing,

The sun shone

Through the window shades.

I thought to myself as I felt free.

Like my birds singing

You were not here

To wake up with me

To complain about the neighbors

To complain at me,

To bitch at me,

To tell me what to do

With my life.

I was me again.

I was a real woman.

I realized you were not here

To gripe & complain

So, why should I smoke this doobie alone?

Freedom and feeling sane.

Laying back with my doobie

Just me

Nice

Sweet

Home alone

At last

As I write this song.
