The sun filters in through the blinds.

It should be a beautiful day.

I wish I could feel it.

The sun is lovely on my skin but not what I need right now.

The day might be right,

But I am not.

***

What I need is a reset.

I cannot match the pace of sun.

Reaching the night with the same steady rate.

I am tied down by clouds the sky does not have.

It may be just today or uncounted in a row.

The pattern needs to break.

***

Sometimes all it takes is a quick reset.

A chance to make my own night.

Reset my own weather pattern.

Easier after a little rest to reorganize.

I do not expect myself to run better than a machine.

Not even that created to be perfect works all the time.

***

So the sun may shine but I will be inside.

Head rested on a soft pillow.

No, I will not be here all day.

An hour or two is all I need.

For I know one truth.

After clouds comes the sun.
