No Such Luck

I hear it calling me
Constantly
clanging
Jingling and Jangling
crying louder and louder.

I hear it calling me
ever so urgently
pleading with me
to get up and go.

I hear it calling me
I know I must answer
but every fiber
of my being
says "No".

Maybe if I lay here
covered from ear to ear
Maybe if I'm quiet
it won't cause a riot
Maybe it'll just go away.

No such luck
not for me
It's that time
I must heed.

Get up,
hit snooze
but still
You will lose
Time to go.
Time to move.

The alarm
calls and
you've no choice
listen to the sound
of its voice.
