The Alarm Goes Off...

I slept just now,
The Dreams in my eyes were raw.
The fairy casted a spell
into the land of enchantness to dwell.

I remembered the ticking clock when I slept.
Reminding me it's too late to go to bed.
But the girdlines of the spreadsheet was in front of me.
Kept my lids light with the help of coffee.

Slowly, the caffeine lost its charm
And next what I heard was my alarm.
Ah! the story is not new
Screaming, it's time, get into your shoes.

Dragging myself out of my house
Admist all the chaos of the town
Listening to creative ideas everyday
My own creative life has lost it's way.

There's no free meal it's said,
Happy are even the men dead.
Setting the alarm on repeat,
Again lost myself in the world of spreadsheets.
